The driver of a pickup moving fast in morning traffic on the 15 Freeway caused a six-vehicle, chain-reaction crash Tuesday that killed a Murrieta woman and sent another pickup off the roadway and into the side of the Temecula City Hall parking building, authorities said.
The pickup’s driver, identified as Javier Caldera, 25, of Auburn, Washington, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs, the California Highway Patrol said. He was not injured.
Caldera was arrested on suspicion of murder, gross vehicular manslaughter, hit-and-run resulting in property damage, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended or revoked license. He was booked into the Southwest Detention center with a bail of $1 million, and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday morning.
The wreckage debris closed the southbound lanes of the freeway at Rancho California Road, as well as the road’s on-ramp, for four hours after the 7:25 a.m. crash and caused major traffic jams throughout the area.
A dashcam video posted on YouTube showed the crash, with the truck speeding by and rear-ending the first car in the chain with an impact that looked like an explosion. The comment, “That’s crazy….call 911, man” can be heard from inside the car with the video.
The CHP said early Tuesday that a 44-year-old Murrieta woman, the driver of a Nissan Altima that Caldera’s southbound truck hit first, died after the collision. The Riverside County Coroner’s Office later identified her as Janet Genao.
In the collisions that followed, a 2000 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck flew off the freeway and struck the Temecula City Hall parking building. The driver, a 38-year-old man from Wildomar, was hospitalized with major injuries, the CHP said.
Two others, a 35-year-old man from Brandon, Mississippi driving a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and a 55-year-old man from Irvine in a 2017 Tesla Model S, both had minor injuries. A 50-year-old El Cajon man in a 2017 Toyota Camry escaped being hurt.

Outrageous, this is a sanctuary state, he should be released, have another vehicle purchased for him, and given 500.00 to get high again. After all, I'm sure Janet Genao's family will not miss her.
Another heartwarming, cultural enrichment story for the leftists, who want no border control or immigration restrictions.
Wow, the car he slammed into was almost disintegrated.
I’m old enough to remember when they would flee back to Mexico after something like this. These days - why bother.
in sanctuary state of WA, illegals can get driver’s licenses :(
beware.
25 years ago I was traveling down the 60 freeway near Riverside and saw a couple of watbecks spin out and hit the center divider. They instantly jumped out and jumped over the divider and ran right across the other side in heavy traffic causing cars to weave and spin out. The guys didn’t get hit. Unfortunately.
Oh my god...
Wish i didn’t just watch that.
That mf’er...
“driving under the influence and driving with a suspended or revoked license.”
He’ll be able to vote, won’t he?
It appears that the truck ran right over the top of the sedan, destroying it.
I know all pickup drivers aren’t jerks, but the biggest jerks on the California freeways drive pickups. They must feel impervious to laws and damage.

looks like the a-hole was trying to make his way back to mexico at the 2:48 mark.
Drunk Mexicans have killed thousands of Texans over the years, part of the curse of having Mexico as a neighbor.
If someone would gather the stats for the entire nation, it would be interesting to see this contagion spreading across the country as illegals squat in other states now.
Looks like the turd hit and bounced-off the median guardrail about 10 seconds prior
In 1978, I saw what was left of a 1969 Chevelle that got flattened by a cement truck. The Chevelle came over the bridge and didn’t stop. Crunch! Flatter than piss on a plate...
Wow. Since this was the interstate you have to figure the flow of traffic was going 60-70 mph and he literally passed them like they were standing still. He had to be going 100+ mph.
Hot Rod "son you're gonna drive me ta drinkin'" Lincoln comes to mind here... the lines looked like dots.
Both wound up in jail. Except of course, in this case a woman died and others were severely injured.
