September 2, 2017 (Ramona) — A blue 1997 GEO metro vehicle registered in Ramona was found down an embankment off westbound Poway Road, where it came to rest against two trees.  After a passerby reported the vehicle, deputies searched for victims and found a dead woman who had been ejected, near an open driver’s side door.

Deputies believe the accident most likely occurred several days ago, due to the condition of the deceased, said Sergeant Andrew Mowins.

The woman will be identified by the Medical Examiner’s examination.

The Poway Station Traffic Division is handling the investigation. If anyone has information about the accident, please call the Poway Sheriff's Station Traffic Investigator line at 858-513-2811.
