Santee, CA (February 7, 2025) – Deven Stewart, 32, of Santee, was killed in a wrong-way collision near Santana High School.
Accident Details: The crash occurred on February 7 when Stewart was driving east on the westbound lanes of Mast Boulevard. Stewart’s vehicle collided head-on with an SUV near Magnolia Avenue. He was later pronounced dead at Sharp Memorial Hospital.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that investigators will analyze several factors to determine what caused Stewart to drive in the wrong direction and if other factors contributed to the crash. Investigators will likely assess Stewart’s behavior at the time of the collision, road conditions, signage, and the presence of any mechanical failure or defect in his car.
Stewart’s family may have the option to pursue a wrongful death claim if the investigation reveals negligence by a third party. Compensation could address funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional distress.
I extend my deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of Deven Stewart.
