Bertha Aida Estrada Killed on SR-94 in San Diego While Helping Accident Victims
SAN DIEGO, CA (November 2, 2018) – Bertha Aida Estrada, 19 years old, was hit by two vehicles early Thursday morning on state Route 94 and killed when she stopped to help victims of a crash. The November 1 accident occurred on the eastbound side of the road, to the west of 32nd Street, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office and California Highway Patrol said.
According to reports, Estrada pulled her vehicle over to help victims of a collision involving two vehicles that occurred a little before 1:45 a.m. in the area of Golden Hill.
The two vehicles involved in the first crash were a Honda Civic, driven by a man 23 years old, and a Mercedes-Benz. Reports say the Honda collided with the back end of the Mercedes, and the impact pushed the Mercedes into the wall of the center median. The Mercedes then stopped in the lanes on the left side of SR-94 eastbound, according to Jake Sanchez. Sanchez is an officer with the California Highway Patrol.
Reports say Estrada pulled her vehicle to the shoulder on the right of the road, and ran over SR-94 to help the two victims in the Mercedez. The victims were described as a woman, 82 years old, and another woman, 84 years old.
An SUV, described as a Jeep Patriot, hit Estrada and the wrecked Mercedes. The force of the crash threw Estrada over the wall that separates the opposing lanes of traffic. Estrada was then hit by a vehicle after she fell on the freeway in a westbound lane. Reports say the second vehicle that hit Estrada did not stop.
According to the Medical Examiner’s Office, Estrada was pronounced deceased at the accident scene. Responders took the two victims who had been traveling in the Mercedes to UCSD Medical Center. Sanchez said their injuries were minor.
Responders took the driver of the Jeep, who had suffered injuries that were described as minor, to Sharp Memorial Hospital.
