Injury Traffic Collision 
On January 11, 2015, at about 7:32 p.m., the Corona Police Department received calls of a Honda Civic having crashed into a City light pole on Lincoln Ave, South of Highgrove St.
Upon arrival, officers found the heavily damaged car resting against a light pole that had been partially knocked down. The 17-year-old passenger was out of the car and the 18 year old driver was trapped inside it.
The Corona Fire Department responded and extricated the driver out of the vehicle. Both victims were transported to Riverside Community Hospital with varying injuries. The passenger was said to have minor injuries. The driver succumbed to his injuries while at the hospital at approximately 1:45 a.m.
The names of those involved were being held pending notification to family members.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, but preliminary information indicates that an unsafe speed for the conditions present is a factor in the cause of this collision.
Anyone with information on this collision is asked to contact Officer Megan Samano at (951)739-4880.
