Two Men Pronounced Dead after Van Collision near Bundy Canyon Road

WILDOMAR, CA (June 5, 2024) – Early Monday morning, Juan Carlos Poblete and another victim were killed in a fiery crash on 15 Freeway.

Just before 12:40 a.m., police officers responded to the scene on the southbound lanes of the freeway just north of Bundy Canyon Road on May 27th.

For reasons under investigation, the driver of a 1999 GMC Savana veered off the road and struck a guard rail before traveling across the lanes. The van eventually went up a nearby embankment, ejecting both occupants from the vehicle.

Despite life-saving efforts, medics pronounced 22-year-old Poblete, of Wildomar and another 39-year-old man dead at the scene.

Following preliminary duties, police suspected alcohol as a factor in the collision, and further investigation remains ongoing. Once available, more details will be provided.
