Officials identified 19-year-old Joshua Adonai Manzanares, of Lake Elsinore, as the teenager who was killed following a suspected DUI crash Monday night near Torrey Pines State Beach in La Jolla.
The fatal car accident took place on North Torrey Pines Road just after 11 p.m. Joshua Adonai Manzanares was one of four passengers in a 2020 Subaru WRX that was going at a high rate of speed on the southbound side of North Torrey Pines Road. According to the authorities, the Subaru was being driven by another 19-year-old boy when, for undetermined reasons, he lost control of the car and struck the center median before smashing through a guardrail.
Due to the impact, Manzanares and another passenger were thrown from the sedan as it went over the ledge, hit multiple rocks, and came to a stop on the beach. Manzanares and another passenger were not buckled up at the time of the collision. The driver and two other passengers were pinned in the wreckage, and they had to be extricated by responding emergency crews. No other details are available.
An investigation is ongoing at this time.
