A 27-year-old male driver from Santa Ana, California, was killed after crashing into a metal barrier as he attempted to cross into the United States in a closed lane at the San Ysidro Port of Entry just after 2pm local time on Tuesday.
Prior to crashing into the barrier, the driver reportedly struck two vendors on the Mexican side of the port — a 70-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman, who was in a wheelchair.
The cause of the crash remains unclear, with an investigation ongoing.
Witnesses said the driver had been travelling at a high speed moments before the deadly impact.
