Driver Dies After Car Veers Off 91 Freeway
A Lake Elsinore man died Monday after his vehicle failed to negotiate a curve on the Riverside Freeway in Anaheim and plunged down an embankment, officials said.
Michael J. Gorman, 19, was pronounced dead at an area hospital after the noon crash just west of the Riverside County line, said Katrina Lundgren, a spokeswoman for the California Highway Patrol.
Authorities said Gorman was traveling about 75 mph at a point where the freeway veers slightly; his car failed to make the curve, crossed several lanes to the dirt shoulder and flipped numerous times. The accident is under investigation, Lundgren said.
