SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – The Medical Examiner’s Office has identified a man who was killed last Saturday in an off-road crash in Borrego Springs. The man was 45-year-old Patrick Dean Perkins of Bonsall. Perkins had gone to the off-roading area with friends and was driving a sandrail-type dune buggy.

The accident occurred around 4:20 p.m. Perkins rounded a corner too quickly and the vehicle turned nearly 36 degrees and landed on his side. According to the Medical Examiner’s Office, Perkins’ passenger was able to get out but he was trapped under the roll bar and died at the scene.

Our thoughts are with the family of the man killed in this accident. It appears this was just tragic error. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in an accident caused by another person or a faulty product, you may wish you speak to a personal injury lawyer or wrongful death lawyer.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – 57-year-old Christian Hansen Gunn was killed in a San Bernardino car accident after the 2002 Nissan Sentra in which he was a passenger was involved in a head-on collision on State Route 18. The Sentra was traveling north on Route 18 near Old Waterman Canyon Road on the morning of May 29 when a Dodge Neon traveling in the southbound lane hit the Sentra head-on.

Police said the driver of the Neon was street racing at the time of the collision and his excessive speed and lack of attention to the road caused the collision. Gunn died at the scene of the accident. The Sentra’s driver and two people who had been in the Neon were taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries.
