DUI Driver Kevin May, 47, Kills Another Motorist in Temecula Crash
TEMECULA, CA (April 22, 2021) – Authorities detained Kevin May after a fatal DUI crash along the Interstate 15 Freeway in Temecula.
The California Highway Patrol determined that the 47-year-old Fontana man was under the influence of a drug on Thursday afternoon.
The incident began when a 2015 Toyota Prius was going south on the 15 Freeway in Temecula behind a tractor-trailer. The big rig then slowed for traffic ahead, just south of Overland Drive.
In the process, the Toyota came to a stop. CHP said Kevin May, traveling behind the Prius, failed to slow down and struck the car with his box truck.

Meanwhile, medical personnel took Kevin May to the Inland Valley Regional Medical Center in Wildomar for treatment of moderate injuries. CHP soon arrested him on suspicion of DUI.
