Deputies from the Perris Sheriff’s Station, along with Cal Fire-Riverside and other emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene just before 10 p.m. after receiving reports of a major injury traffic accident involving two passenger vehicles, Riverside Sheriff’s Sergeant Hibbler reported this morning.

Deputies and firefighters began arriving within minutes and located a collision involving a black, 2016 Chrysler 300 and black, 2000 Honda Accord. The vehicles ended up approximately 100 feet apart from each other and the collision left vehicle parts and debris spread a cross that entire distance.

The driver of Chrysler suffered major injuries in the collision and despite life-saving efforts he succumbed to his injuries and passed away at the scene.

Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner officials have since identified Isaiah Eddington, 24, of Hemet, as the man killed in the accident. A coroner’s release indicated Eddington was pronounced deceased at 10:15 p.m.

The driver of the Honda was transported to a local hospital with unspecified injuries that Cal Fire later described as moderate.

“It is unknown if alcohol and or drugs are a factor in this collision and the collision is still under investigation by the Perris Station Traffic Bureau,” said Hibbler.
