Passenger dies after single-car crash in AV

by The AV Times Staff • January 26, 2016

fatal crashLAKE LOS ANGELES — A back-seat passenger died and three others were injured after the car they were riding in crashed into a power pole in the Antelope Valley Monday afternoon, authorities said.

The fatal collision happened around 2:20 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25, on Palmdale Boulevard, west of 225th Street East.

Dom Trieu, 61, of Lancaster was driving a 2004 Toyota Camry westbound on Palmdale Boulevard, at about 50 miles per hour, when he lost control of the vehicle, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

“Mr. Trieu failed to negotiate a left sweeping curve and veered off to the right onto the dirt shoulder,” the CHP report states.

The Camry “struck a wood power pole,” injuring all four occupants, according to the CHP report.

They were transported to Palmdale Regional Medical Center, where 49-year-old Anna Tran of Camarillo died of her injuries. Tran had been riding in the left rear passenger  seat of the Camry.

The vehicle’s right rear passenger, 80-year-old Hoi Thi Quach of Lancaster, sustained major injuries, included internal bleeding, CHP officials said.

The right front passenger, 55-year-old Anh T. Banh of Lancaster, sustained moderate injuries, the CHP report states, and the driver [Trieu] sustained minor injuries.

Alcohol and drugs were not factors in the traffic collision, according to the CHP report.

The incident remains under investigation.

    The curve they drove through was posted at 45 MPH, so 50 is too fast. The rest of rural E. Palmdale Blvd is 55 MPH, a speed rated safe for a straight section of rural highway. If that speed appears too fast for you, that’s fine, but it’s a sign that you should hire a driver or consider public transportation.

    50 miles per hour is too fast for Palmdale Blvd. So sorry for the family.
