On December 7, 2023, at 11:10 p.m., deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s, Perris Station, responded to the 2200 block of North Perris Boulevard, Perris, regarding the report of a major injury traffic collision. Deputies arrived on the scene and located the driver of a 2002 Honda Accord unresponsive with major injuries inside the vehicle. The driver was transported to a local hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries. A second vehicle involved in the collision, a 2014 Nissan Quest, was located on the opposite side of the road and had significant rear-end damage. The driver of the Nissan was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
The Perris Station Reconstruction Team responded to the scene and assumed the investigation.

It is unknown if drugs or alcohol were a factor in this collision. This investigation is ongoing.
The identity of the deceased will not be released pending notification to the next of kin. A temporary road closure of North Perris Boulevard between Orange Avenue and Avocado Avenue was required to process the scene and collect evidence.
