Accident
A Murieta teenager was uninjured Thursday morning when the Toyota Corolla he was driving went off the road and crashed in an area of rocks and oak trees next to a home in the 6800 block of Terreno Drive. The 17-year-old said he lost control of the car after he became ill and had to vomit. He was the sole occupant of the sedan, which sustained extensive damage when it hit a large boulder. "It could have been a lot worse," remarked Security Sgt. Jim Bieg as the car was towed away.
