WINCHESTER, RIVERSIDE COUNTY (KABC) -- Drunk driving is believed to be the cause of a fatal wrong-way crash involving three vehicles in the Winchester area of Riverside County Saturday night.

The incident occurred at the intersection of Leon Road and Domenigoni Parkway around 10:10 p.m.

Gerardo Cornejo, 20, of Nuevo was driving a 1994 Honda Civic westbound in the eastbound lane when he slammed head-on into a 2007 Suzuki RX4. That's when the 20-year-old spun around, and was hit by a Dodge Ram pickup truck.

A male passenger in the Suzuki, Amos Yang, 27, of Banning, was taken to Menifee Valley Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries.

A 4-year-old girl in the Suzuki's back seat was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
