LAKE FOREST– Nicole Catsouras, 18, of Ladera Ranch was killed Tuesday afternoon when her black Porsche 911 Carrera clipped a Honda she was trying to pass on the right at more than 100 mph on the Eastern (241) Toll Road, the California Highway Patrol said.
Catsouras was driving southbound near Alton Parkway when she suddenly switched lanes and lost control of the Porsche, CHP officials said, and then cut across the center median, careened across several lanes of traffic and crashed into a tollbooth.
The 20-year-old driver of the Honda was taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries.
The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Passing on the right should be illegal. It is in most European countries and it's a major part of why their highways flow so much better than ours.
And ya, sucks to be her. It's a shame she died - but her parents should have known better then to let her run around at 100mph in a 911.

. . .The 2 parked cars are parked in the opposite direction to the traffic flow in the right side of the median though, maybe that looks a little confusing ?
