National City
A 14-year-old girl was killed Friday when the car in which she was riding crashed into a chain-link fence, National City police said.
The victim was identified as Blanca Leon of National City, officials said.
She was one of four teen-age girls riding in the car driven by a juvenile boy in an alley in the 200 block of East 5th Street, Officer James Dunn said. Part of the fence railing entered the front windshield, striking and killing Leon.
The others in the car had minor injuries, Dunn said.
