Authorities Wednesday released the name of an 18-year-old man killed in a solo traffic crash near San Elijo Park.

Toby Langford of Escondido was heading south on a curving stretch of Schoolhouse Way in San Marcos at high speed about 6:40 p.m. Monday when he lost control of the Chevrolet pickup truck he was driving, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The vehicle hit a curb east of Elfin Forest Road, overturned and tumbled down an embankment into a ravine, sheriff’s Sgt. Charles Morreale said. Langford died at the scene of the accident.
