The driver was 16-year-old Edgar Giovanny Oviedo, a San Diego resident. According to the Medical Examiner’s officer, on Aug. 16, Oviedo was driving a BMW sedan eastbound on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard when it laterally collided with a San Diego Police Department patrol vehicle that was northbound at the intersection at Dolvia Drive.

A person was fatally struck by a train in the Cardiff neighborhood of Encinitas early Wednesday afternoon, a sheriff’s official said.
The collision was reported just after 1 p.m. in the area of Chesterfield Drive at San Elijo Avenue, Lt. Joe Berry said.
The Sheriff’s Office’s Railroad Enforcement Unit is investigating the incident.
Chesterfield was briefly closed between San Elijo and Coast Highway 101 as first responders worked, but the road has since reopened.
In a post on social media platform X, the North County Transit District warned people to expect significant delays for Coaster service. Tracks were closed between Solana Beach and Encinitas stations, it said, and a Breeze bus bridge would be available for passengers between those stations.
