One killed, two seriously hurt in head-on Highway 74 crash
One person was killed in a head-on crash on Highway 74, the Ortega Highway, near Lake Elsinore Sunday.
CAL Fire said the crash happened just after 8:30 a.m., forcing crews to close the narrow and twisting two-lane highway east of Lookout Roadhouse.
Three people were trapped inside the wreckage forcing crews to perform a cut and rescue. One person died from their injuries, the other two are still in serious condition.
All lanes were back open Sunday evening, but we’re told the traffic was pretty bad through there this morning because of the 91 Freeway closure.
