The killer of a Temecula man is at large, and investigators asked for the public's help today.

Douglass O'Husky, 53, of Temecula, was driving north on Interstate 215 around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 4 in the slow lane just south of Newport Road when another vehicle sped by him and clipped his car. It sent him barreling off the freeway into a dirt field, then it flipped and crashed through a chain link fence, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Nathan Baer.

O'Husky went flying out of his 1999 Hyundai Accent -- he was wearing no seatbelt -- and he died in the dusty field, Baer said.
