21-year-old dies after crash in Lake Elsinore

A 21-year-old was killed following a crash in Lake Elsinore on Saturday morning. 

It happened at around 1:15 a.m. on eastbound lanes of SR-74 west of Grand Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol. 

They say that the driver, behind the wheel of a 2000 Ford Explorer, was traveling at an unknown speed when his vehicle veered to the right and collided with a tree. 

The force of the impact caused the car to overturn onto its roof, partially ejecting the driver, who police say was not wearing a seatbelt. The driver was declared dead at the scene. 

He has since been identified as Isaac Romero of Lake Elsinore. 

Police say that alcohol impairment was possibly a factor in the incident.
