4 die when car plunges off San Diego Coronado Bridge, hits crowd in park

Four people were killed and nine injured Saturday when a pickup plunged off the San Diego-Coronado Bridge into an afternoon crowd of motorcycle enthusiasts at Chicano Park, authorities said.

Two of the nine people who were injured suffered major trauma, including the driver, who was in shock and told several witnesses who rushed to his aid to contact his commander at a nearby military base.

Authorities identified him as Richard Anthony Sepolio, 25, a Navy man stationed in Coronado.

Police and paramedics swarmed to the busy park when officers reported casualties among visitors. The injured were taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital, UC San Diego Medical Center and Sharp Coronado Hospital.
