Winchester Teen Killed In Moreno Valley Crash

WINCHESTER, CA — A 17-year-old Winchester teen was killed Wednesday afternoon in a Moreno Valley crash after a driver ran through a stop sign, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Logan Edwards died at the crash scene at Day Street and Bay Avenue shortly after 3 p.m.

Deputies out of the Moreno Valley Sheriff's Station determined in a preliminary investigation that the driver of a 2014 Toyota Corolla went through the intersection at a "high rate of speed." The Corolla plowed into the driver's side of Edwards' 2012 Ford Edge, causing the boy's vehicle to smash into a fence.

Despite life-saving measures by first responders, the teen succumbed to his injuries at the crash scene.

The Corolla driver sustained moderate injuries and was hospitalized.

It's unclear whether drugs and/or alcohol were crash factors, the sheriff's department said, noting that the crash remains under investigation.

The crash forced the closure of Day Street, between Brill Road and Sherman Avenue, and Bay Avenue, east and west of the intersection.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call Deputy Greg Berry of the Moreno Valley Sheriff’s Station at 951-486-8206 or the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department at 951-776-1099.
