Woman Who Was Fatally Injured In Fall From Limo On I-5 ID'd

SAN DIEGO, CA — Authorities Tuesday publicly identified a 25-year-old woman who was fatally injured last month in a fall from a limousine traveling on Interstate 5 in National City.

Brigette Duenas of San Marcos opened a rear emergency exit in the northbound 2018 Mercedes-Benz Freightliner, apparently mistaking it for the door to a restroom in the vehicle, and fell out onto the roadway near Civic Center Drive shortly after 8 p.m. Aug. 28, according to the county Medical Examiner's Office.

Paramedics took Duenas to UCSD Medical Center in San Diego, where she succumbed to her injuries three days later.
