A 19-year-old man was killed when the car in which he was riding went down a 350-foot embankment off Interstate 15 Friday, California Highway Patrol officials said.

The victim’s name has not been released pending notification of his family, CHP dispatcher Elaine Schuller said. He was a resident of Ontario in San Bernardino County, Schuller said.

According to officials, the driver, Tyron Edgarston, 31, also from Ontario, was headed south on I-15, south of Mission Road, at about 1:55 p.m. when his car grazed another vehicle and went off the embankment.
