Coto de Caza, CA - a driver was killed today at around 7:40 pm near Vista del Verde and Cherry Hills a Drive, according to  Capt. Steve Concialdi, with the Orange County Fire Authority.  The intersection is one we previously identified as on of the top ten most dangerous in the community

This is now the third traffic fatality in the community in less than ten years, right after the CZ board of directors fired the CHP for pro-active traffic patrol

Apparently the driver's car jumped a wall and collided with a home.

No details are available as to whether others were hurt in the incident
