A 35-year-old Claremont man has died and his passenger was critically injured in a Westminster SUV crash, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that Robert S. Pineda was driving a 2008 Honda CRV in the carpool lane of northbound I-405 freeway when he lost control and hit the center median. The SUV rolled over several times and Pineda was ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
His passenger — a 28-year-old Claremont woman — sustained major injuries and was taken to Orange County Global Medical Center in Santa Ana for treatment. An investigation into the cause of the SUV crash is underway.
