Man Falls To Death At 91, 15 Interchange

CORONA, CA — The Riverside County coroner's office says it was a Fullerton man who fell to his death after apparently jumping from a busy freeway overpass over the weekend. The incident was reported just before 12:30 p.m. Saturday on the eastbound side of the 91 Freeway, at the Interstate 15 interchange.

Initial reports indicate that the man, who was 42, was wearing a red plaid shirt and jumped from a transition road connecting the northbound 15 to the westbound 91 where a grey vehicle was parked. The CHP said the victim was stuck by multiple vehicles.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities closed multiple lanes for several hours following the deadly incident.

The Press Enterprise reports this is "at least" the third such death in the area in the last year alone.
