SAN DIEGO — Two young men were killed in a solo vehicle crash in the Rancho Bernardo neighborhood early Friday, according to police.

San Diego police officers responded just before 12:45 a.m. to 15800 Bernardo Heights Parkway, near Calle Pueblito, and found a crash involving a 2001 Mercedes E320.

A news release from the police department says an 18-year-old man was driving the Mercedes eastbound at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the car. As a result, the Mercedes crashed into a raised center median then collided with a tree, according to SDPD.
