A 16-year-old Irvine girl who may have fallen asleep at the wheel was killed when the car she was driving left the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 5) in north San Diego County early Sunday morning, the California Highway Patrol reported. Suzanna Young was northbound on the freeway south of Las Pulgas Road in Camp Pendleton when her car apparently hit the center divider, then swerved to the right and off the freeway about 12:30 a.m., a CHP spokeswoman said.
