Speeding teen faulted in fiery crash that killed four near Bishop

Fiery crash near Bishop

A speeding teenage driver caused a fatal collision last year that killed a former Corona del Mar High School cheerleading coach along with three others, according to a recently released California Highway Patrol investigation report.

Wendy Rice perished in the fiery Aug. 8, 2010, crash outside Bishop when her van was hit by a driver who lost control of an SUV, the Daily Pilot reported.

Rice, 35, was the cheerleading director, coach and choreographer at Corona del Mar High from 2001 to 2008.

While driving at least 85 mph, Natalie Nield, 17, of Carlsbad was driving at least 85 miles per hour when she swerved toward the southbound shoulder of U.S. Highway 395 to avoid a big rig passing another truck, according to CHP Officer Dennis Cleland.
