Memorial Set for Men Killed in San Diego Car Accident

By Ross Jurewitz

Mario De La Rosa, 21, of the San Diego neighborhood of Serra Mesa had been driving his Toyota Camry significantly above the speed limit in the early hours just after midnight on Saturday, April 4th with his brother and passenger, Paul Albert Alferos Jr., 19, of San Diego, when he crashed into a telephone pole.

San Diego Police Department Sgt Alan Hayward reported that the fatal San Diego auto accident occurred on the 2900 block of Clairemont Drive. Alcohol had not been ruled out as a cause of the accident, but it remains unknown what caused De La Rosa to lose control of the vehicle and swerve off the road. Alteros had been unrestrained in the backseat and authorities declared him dead on the scene. Paramedics took De La Rosa to the hospital, where he later died.

The identification of the men in this early April car wreck were not originally released pending notification of their families. A memorial was then set up for them, including make-shift cross and memorial marker for the site of the fatal San Diego car accident.
