On 09/12/22 at approximately 1:57 AM, El Cajon police officers and paramedics responded to the 1500 block of Greenfield Drive reference reports of a solo vehicle colliding with a power pole and a brick wall. Upon arrival officers found a 2020 black Chevrolet Silverado truck that had collided with a brick wall in front of the residence at 1576 Greenfield Drive. Inside the Silverado truck was a 37 year old female driver and a 45 year old male passenger. Both occupants of the truck were transported to Sharp Memorial Hospital with serious injuries. The male passenger was later pronounced deceased at the hospital. The female driver is expected to survive her injuries.

After a preliminary investigation of the scene, it appears the Silverado truck was traveling westbound on Greenfield Drive when the driver lost control and collided with a curb and brick wall. It is unknown at this time if drugs or alcohol were a factor in this collision and no other vehicles were involved.
