Press Release:

On Thursday, August 7, 2025, at approximately 4:35 p.m., the Murrieta Police Department Communications Center received multiple 911 calls reporting a traffic collision at the intersection of California Oaks Road and Skyview Ridge. Callers reported the incident involved a truck and a car, with the driver of the car trapped inside.

Murrieta Police officers and Murrieta Fire & Rescue personnel responded to the scene and located an adult female in the driver’s seat of the car suffering from significant injuries. She was extricated from the vehicle and transported to a local hospital. Despite life-saving efforts, the female succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

Investigators from the Murrieta Police Department’s Traffic Bureau responded and assumed the investigation. The driver of the truck, identified as Jaime Ruiz Jr. (39-year-old male resident of Murrieta), remained at the scene and exhibited signs and symptoms of being under the influence of alcohol.
