A Lake Elsinore doctor has been killed and two other people injured in a head-on crash on Ortega Highway, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that Dr. Greg Barron, 59, was traveling east on the Ortega Highway in his GMC Yukon when the driver of a Chevrolet Camaro crossed into his lane near the Lookout Roadhouse and crashed head-on into Barron’s SUV. He was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Dr. Barron was a family practitioner who worked in Orange County and southwest Riverside County.
The Camaro driver, 21-year-old Bradley Stow of Murrieta, and his passenger, 20-year-old Celese Truc Dao Cao, also of Murrieta, were both hospitalized with serious injuries. Officers said that Stow was apparently attempting to pass another vehicle when he crashed into Barron’s SUV.
