FALLBROOK, CA (June 8, 2020) — A solo-vehicle crash Sunday, just off the 15 South Freeway near East Mission Road, claimed a man’s life and left a woman hospitalized.
 
According to authorities, a gold Lincoln Navigator traveled off the road for unclear reasons and tumbled down an embankment, about 100 feet below the interstate.
