A 20-year-old Ramona man was killed and three others were injured in an apparent drunk-driving accident Sunday morning on California 67, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
At 6 a.m. Sunday, about three miles north of Slaughterhouse Canyon Road near Santee, a northbound car driven by 24-year-old Juan Manuel Martinez had veered off the highway and rumbled over a concrete culvert, the spokesman said.
Martinez was flown to Palomar Medical Center, where he was in serious condition with facial cuts Monday, a spokeswoman there said. He was arrested on suspicion of felony drunk driving and felony manslaughter, the CHP spokesman said.
Manuel Jesus Ibanez, 20, was pronounced dead at the scene with a broken neck.
Salvador Flores, 35, was also flown to Palomar Medical Center, where he was in fair condition Monday with multiple fractures. A third passenger--28-year-old Tereso Perez Cruz--was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital with facial cuts, and was to be released Monday, a spokeswoman there said.
All of the men were Ramona residents.
