Emergency responders rushed a 15-year-old boy to a local hospital following a near-fatal wreck in Miramar Ranch on September 2, 2024.
The single-vehicle collision happened at around 2:15 a.m. at the intersection of Scripps Poway Parkway and Scripps Summit Drive, according to San Diego Police.
Police said the teen driver was traveling east on 10550 Scripps Poway Parkway when “he made an unsafe movement to the right” and struck a light pole. The SUV then burst into flames near a Circle K gas station.
Some witnesses saw the incident and pulled the teen from the burning wreckage. The Good Samaritans rendered aid until paramedics arrived.
The current home of Charger greats Gary Plummer, Shawn Merriman, LaDanian Tomlinson, Kellen Winslow, and Michael Scifres is an exclusive bedroom community in northeast San Diego that offers recreational boating and fishing. A feature of Scripps Ranch is its landscaping, which includes many mature eucalyptus trees that are most apparent along Pomerado Road. The entire community was once a large ranch owned by newspaper magnate E.W. Scripps.
Two elected planning groups (the Scripps Ranch Planning Group and the Miramar Ranch North Planning Committee), advise the city on local planning and land-use issues.
