San Diego, CA (August 15, 2024) – A couple died after a two-car crash in the Bay Terraces neighborhood of San Diego on Tuesday, according to officers.
A man, Ernest Martinez Acuna, 76, and his wife, Olivia, 74, were both killed in the incident. Olivia Acuna was transported to Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego, where she was pronounced dead. Both passengers died from multiple blunt force injuries, the Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed.
