Woman ID'd in Deadly Temecula Crash

TEMECULA, CA — Riverside County coroner's officials on Tuesday publicly identified a woman who died in a two-car crash in Temecula last week.

The victim has been identified as 48-year-old Saila Felver. She was a resident of Temecula.

Coroner's officials say that she died at 6:24 p.m. at the scene of the crash on Montelegro and Leena ways— less than ten minutes after the crash was first reported.

Sheriff's officials say it appears that a sedan was headed northbound on Montelegro Way when the driver crashed into another sedan, which had been turning southbound onto Montelegro from Leeena.

Felver, who was attempting to turn onto Montelegro, was killed and her passenger suffered severe head trauma, according to sheriff's Sgt. Robert Christolon. The driver of the other sedan was also hospitalized "with a complaint of pain."
