A 40-year-old man was killed Saturday in Rancho Bernardo after he lost control of his car at nearly 100 m.p.h. and skidded across Interstate 15, plowing head-on into another vehicle.

The driver and two passengers of the other car miraculously escaped with only moderate injuries in the 3 p.m. accident, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.

Robert Russell Weedman of San Diego died in the accident after his car burst into flames, a coroner’s office spokesman said.
