According to a story in The Eureka Reporter Taarna Renee Wiltsie, 19, of Carlsbad died near Orick, California “when her vehicle left US Highway 101 near Bald Hills Road, careened off an embankment, overturned and landed in a creek.”
Wiltsie was found dead inside her 2007 Toyota Corolla by emergency personnel at approximately 4:24 a.m. Sunday, according to a California Highway Patrol collision report. . . There were no witnesses to the incident, but a passerby discovered the vehicle after noticing tire tracks on the shoulder of the roadway and checked out the scene.
Taarna was a staff writer at Palomar College’s award-winning, student-run newspaper The Telescope. According to a story in the North County Times, Wiltsie was on her way to visit her parents in Springfield, Oregon. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
