A 69-year-old Grand Terrace man was fatally injured last night after crashing a car into several objects along a busy road in that city, San Bernardino County coroner's officials say.

Donald Layfield died at Loma Linda University Medical Center about an hour after the 7:43 p.m. wreck Monday at Barton Road and California Street.

Layfield had been the driver and sole occupant of a Toyota Camry that was headed east on Barton Road when it veered off the roadway.

Deputy sheriffs are investigating the cause.
