Father killed in crash on SR-94 in La Mesa

LA MESA, Calif. – A father from La Mesa was killed in a single-vehicle crash that caused a major traffic backup on a freeway in La Mesa Sunday.
Charles Benjamin Dillaha, 33, died in the crash that happened after 9 a.m. on westbound state Route 94, directly under a ramp to state Route 125, a California Highway Patrol dispatcher said.
Dilhalla was in the slow lane of the 94 when he lost control of his vehicle and it struck a concrete barrier, ejecting him.
Witnesses pulled over and attempted to give him CPR. Paramedics arrived and continued CPR, but were unable to revive Dilhalla, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three lanes of Route 94 were blocked, and a Sigalert was issued for the area.
