A teenager from Baldwin Park was killed and another badly injured Thursday when the sedan they were in crashed into a broken-down tractor-trailer alongside Interstate 15 in northern San Diego County.
The 19-year-old driver of the southbound Honda Civic lost control of the car for unknown reasons near Old Highway 395 in Bonsall at about 7:15 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol. The car slammed into the back of the parked big rig, fatally injuring an 18-year-old male in the passenger seat, CHP public information Officer Hunter Gerber said.
The passenger, whose name was not immediately available, died at the scene of the accident.
Paramedics airlifted the driver of the sedan to a hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.
