PALA, CA (July 2, 2020)—One person perished in Tuesday’s DUI solo-car crash on Pala Temecula Road near Highway 76.
 
According to California Highway Patrol Officer Kevin Smale, the incident occurred around 4:44 p.m. on a rural roadway.
 
Just south of Temecula in the Pala community, a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, traveling at a high rate of speed, veered off the road and plowed into a tree.
