How they died
Pursuit
Passenger David Lopez was killed when the car he was in crashed while being pursued by deputy Nathan Rowley. At about 9 a.m., Rowley tried to stop a 2007 Ford Focus that had been reported stolen. The car reportedly fled west in the eastbound lanes of Valley Center Road. The deputy said the pursuit lasted less than 60 seconds before the Ford hit an oncoming 2003 Subaru Forest. Lopez died at a hospital shortly after the collision. Another passenger in the Ford survived the crash. A 76-year-old woman who was driving the Subaru was hospitalized. The Ford's driver, Jose Najara, 33, was hospitalized with major injuries. Najara was charged with murder in the crash.
