Deadly Wildomar Wreck: Victim Identified In Major Crash

WILDOMAR, CA — A 75-year-old man killed in a two-car collision at a Wildomar intersection has been publicly identified. Harry Medinger of Wildomar was a passenger in one of the sedans that crashed at Bundy Canyon Road and Harvest Way about 1:35 p.m. Thursday.

Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. James Woodland said a black Hyundai and white BMW collided while traveling at unknown speeds through the intersection.

Medinger, who was riding in the front passenger seat of the Hyundai, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Both drivers suffered minor injuries. Bundy Canyon was shut down for six hours while an investigation was conducted.

The wreck involving Medinger was one of two fatal crashes in the area on the same day. Just hours later, a man was killed in a crash on Grand Avenue at Vail Street in nearby Lakeland Village. Another person was hospitalized.

Then, on Saturday, two people were trapped when two vehicles collided along Summerhill Drive at Bella Firenze in Lake Elsinore, according to fire officials. Those two people were hospitalized with major injuries, while two others suffered either minor or moderate injuries.
