1 Killed When Car Plows Into San Diego Store

SAN DIEGO, CA — One person was killed when a car plowed into a Cricket Wireless store early Monday morning in Otay Mesa.

The crash occurred just after 4 a.m. near the intersection of Coronado Avenue and Beyer Boulevard, said San Diego Police Department Officer Scott Lockwood.

"The initial reporting party said a vehicle crashed into a building. We arrived on scene, and we began life-saving measures on a vehicle occupant," Lockwood told Patch. "They were later pronounced dead at the scene."

It wasn't clear what caused the driver of a Toyota sedan to jump the curb and crash into the building.

"I can't tell you what the cause of the collision is. Right now there's no indication that he was going at tremendous speed or anything," San Diego Police Sgt. Robert McDonald told NBC San Diego. "I didn't smell any alcohol on him. He's a 58-year-old male, so I don't know if he died from blunt force trauma or had a medical emergency while driving. I don't know, the autopsy will show that."

The investigation remains ongoing.

As of 10 a.m. Monday, the roadway had fully reopened to traffic.
