The crash occurred when a Toyota Rav 4 traveling east on Interstate 8 near Lake Jennings Park Road veered across the road, crossed over the center median and headed into oncoming traffic around 11 a.m., CHP officials said. The Toyota then slammed into the front of a westbound Honda Accord.<\/p>\n

Wreckage and debris were scattered across the westbound lanes, and one vehicle reportedly landed on its roof.<\/p>\n

The Toyota\u2019s driver, a 24-year-old man from El Cajon, died at the scene. The Honda\u2019s driver, a 43-year-old man from El Cajon, died at a hospital.<\/p>\n
