Two killed after car goes wrong way on Route 52

September 8, 2007

SANTEE: Two people died in a head-on crash early yesterday when a speeding car going the wrong way on state Route 52 slammed into a pickup driven by an off-duty Border Patrol agent, officials said.

The crash occurred just after 2:30 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the freeway at Mast Boulevard.

Before the crash, several motorists called 911 to report a Toyota Prius heading east, going at least 100 mph in the fast lane, Highway Patrol Officer Rob Sanchez said. The 2007 Prius collided with a 1995 Chevrolet S-10 pickup.

The county Medical Examiner's Office identified the Prius driver as Shayne Rae Leatherwood, 22, of Poway.

The Border Patrol agent was identified as Neil Wilkie Hepburn, 35, a married father of two children, ages 7 and 2. He lived with his family in San Diego. Hepburn, a nine-year veteran, had been driving home after completing a shift as a supervisory agent of the canine program at the Campo Border Patrol station.

Hepburn had previously served on the San Diego sector's distinguished horse patrol unit and as an emergency medical technician, officials said.

The CHP said it was not yet known if alcohol was a factor in the crash. –K.K. & M.A.
