La Verne man killed in rollover crash on 210 Freeway

LA VERNE >> A 68-year-old La Verne man died when his Corvette veered off the rain-slickened roadway and overturned on the 210 Freeway late Friday, officials said.
David Brighton of La Verne died in the 6:20 p.m. crash along the westbound 210 Freeway, just west of Foothill Boulevard, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Lt. David Smith said.
He was driving a 1993 Chevrolet Corvette in the right-hand lane at 75 to 80 mph just prior to the crash, Officer J. Ortiz of the California Highway Patrol’s Baldwin Park Office said in a written statement.
“Due to excessive speed in wet/raining conditions, (Brighton) lost control, which caused the Chevrolet Corvette to veer off the roadway, overturning in the process,” Ortiz said.
Paramedics pronounced Brighton dead at the scene.
Any witnesses to the crash were encouraged to contact the CHP’s Baldwin Park Office at 626-338-1164.
