LANCASTER – A driver and his passenger died Thursday after the vehicle they were riding in was broadsided in a Lancaster intersection, authorities said.

The fatal two-vehicle collision happened around 3 p.m. Thursday, March 31, in the intersection of East Avenue J and 50th Street East, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.

Witnesses told investigators that the Honda Civic's female driver ran the stop sign at Avenue J. [LUIS MEZA]

A female driver “was traveling northbound on 50th Street East in a 2006 Honda Civic when, according to witnesses, she ran the stop sign at Avenue J,” the news release states.

The Civic struck a 1999 Toyota Corolla that was traveling eastbound on Avenue J and “had just proceeded into the intersection from the stop sign at 50th Street East,” according to the news release.

The Corolla careened into the desert, and its driver and male passenger were pronounced dead at the scene.

Their identities have not yet been released pending next of kin notification.

The Civic’s driver and her two passengers received minor injuries, the news release states. The driver declined treatment, but her passengers were transported to Antelope Valley Hospital for further treatment, according to the news release.

“Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be a factor in this collision. Investigators are seeking the public’s assistance with any additional information regarding this collision,” the news release states.

Anyone with information should contact the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station at 661-948-8466.

      Yes there is, the driver of the Honda was speeding and she missed the stop –killing 2 man –
      She never even tried to stop at all
      That Corolla were her brakes
      Sad that she is not having any remorse about what she did

          there are reports that we all jumped to conclusions. She didn’t post a selfie, the media grabbed an old photo. I can say that her hair was much lighter than in that photo. She used her phone to post to fb and the phone did an auto correct turning “its” into “im”. I have to believe her bc I can’t see her being that callus. So in sticking to my name. I tell the truth, I truly believe the story and still think she was obsessed with her shirt due to shock.

    I travel down 50th street east on a regular basis. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been almost hit. Either almost re ended from someone texting and driving, to a jerk trying to pass a bunch of cars and almost smashing into on coming traffic to people not looking both directions and just taking off. 50th street east is not a highway or freeway! Slow the f down! There are stops signs so their is no reason that you should be driving over 45 mph!!!!!!!! I swear I see a nasty accident on a daily basis! People put down the damn cellphone, slow down, stay alert and stay alive!

    if there was ever a time where i would WANT to be on Jury Duty, this is that time… I would love to see her rot in prison for life because she is showing no signs of remorse whatsoever.

  7. hernandez says

    April 2, 2016 at 11:42 am

    What a mindless jerk! Her first reaction is to post about herself being all over the news??? Selfish girl. She isn’t so shocked that she can’t possibly post an update on facebook? Does she think this is good attention? Two precious lives were lost… and she wants to post about it? I hope this is not the next wave of generation, mindless stupidity with no remorse.

  8. Sitting in Judgement? says

    I am sorry for the people who lost their family members and pray for them. At the same time I pray for this young woman who has to live with this on her conscience for the rest of her life. To me that’s the worst kind of prison.

    As for the seizure story. It is very possible that she had a seizure and it might have been her first one. My son was assaulted 6 years ago, hit in the left side of his head, brain surgery, titanium plate, TBI, the whole deal and he just recently started having seizures. They revoked his license for three months for having two seizures in like a six month time frame then gave it back to him. Two weeks ago he had a seizure while driving and while his brother who was sitting next to him finally figured out what was going on the two people in the back seat were clueless until they were told what was going on. My son believed he was on the freeway between N and M when actually they were already at pear blossom highway. He recovered pretty quickly from his seizure until later and then he felt drained. My point is seizures can happen while on medication, you can have a driver’s license if you have had seizures, you may not feel like you need medical attention right away especially if you are in denial about having a seizure and the people in the backseat may not have known.

    The only facts are this young woman ran a stop sign at a high rate of speed killing two people. Thats it. We dont know if the corolla made a complete stop. For that matter how come the person in the corolla didnt see the blue vehicle coming towards him at a very high rate of speed? Didnt he look both ways to make sure it was safe before proceeding into the intersection. There is not any blind spots at that four way stop. So while you are all playing God and sitting in judgement of this young woman remember that nobody here knows what happened or why it happened. If she was not under the influence her only crime was running a stop sign. Negligence pure and simple. It’s tragic that two people lost their lives but if it was negligence it’s an accident. This young woman has family too and they did nothing wrong to have to read your words of nastiness calling their family member horrific names and wishing death on her. Have some class, empathy and consideration for the families of both parties and make this more about awareness and helping others to not make the same mistake then about hate. Hate isnt going to bring people back but awareness can change lives.

      all you say is true. I think most ppl would agree, however, i became enraged at the flake reporting made by her passengers sister. considering what had just happened.

      If your son had been in a fatal accident would he have declined medical treatment?

    • Julien says

      April 2, 2016 at 9:35 am

      You are really trying to place blame on the dead , innocent people? Read the previous police report! She (the blue Honda) is at fault completely.

      You sound like BL family member so I am sorry for what she is dealing with emotionally but her negligence killed two innocent people. What she and family members are posting on social media is making her look heartless (not the public). Right now BL and her family’s is her own worst enemy. Get off social media and hire a good lawyer and therapist. She will need it when she realizes this isn’t a selfie moment but a murderer she is looking at in her reflection.

      RIP to the two in the Corolla – you were also someones family. Justice will be served.

    • The truth will set u free says

      April 3, 2016 at 10:54 am

      She is guilty and that’s not a judgement, it’s the FACT!
      It is what it is!
      She called it up on herself when she decided to be a careless driver speeding up!

      • Sitting in Judgement says

        April 4, 2016 at 8:57 pm

        Guilty of what is the question…..vehicular manslaughter with special circumstances…. Yes. If in fact she had a seizure and she was taking her meds or it was the first one IT WAS NOT HER FRUIT, IT WAS NOBODIES FAULT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! My son has what they call focal seizures, some places call them focus seizures. Google it and you will see that it is possible to have a seizure and still be awake and functioning. I am not claiming the girl is innocent or that she is not 100% RESPONSIBLE what I’m saying is she is not a murderer. The very definition of murderer does not even come close to what this girl did:
        MURDERER
        1.
        Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder) and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder)
        There was no malice, diversion, or premeditated. Hell there was no intent. Gross negligence sure, vehicular manslaughter sure but murderer no.

          Please remember this is about the victims and their families!

          If you are sick then take care of it and don’t expose other lives to death only because you are not happy in the Myth of your sickness!- that’s selfish-
          Why did she not pool over and called 911 or had her “daddy” come get her?

          What makes her guilty is the fact that she was not respecting the law going over the speed limit, passing cars over the left shoulder not respecting the opposite incoming traffic, on top of that she did not stop at the stop sigh do to high speed!
          That’s a clear definition of guilty!

          Hopefully with maximum penalties. She CHOSE to drive recklessly. Did she make a HUGE mistake? Yes, but she still needs to pay her penalties. Should she go to jail for, of course not. Should she lose her licence till she 30 YES, Should she have to pay restitution to the families for years to come, YES. She will have to live with this, as I’m sure she will never forget it. I hope she will turn this into a warning to others by telling her story and the stories of her victims to save others.

          You can twist and turn facts as much as you want and write walls of words, she killed two peoples while driving recklessly. She’s not a victim here but the perp. If she’s unfit to drive, her DL should be revoked for life and she should be in jail instead of posting on FB.
          She’s old enough to drive but way to young to handle responsabilities? How about some decency? Is she also too young to understand the concept?
          I find the fact you are defending this young woman so vehemently quite disturbing.

          Imagine that:

          Police officer in situation #1:
          “You didn’t pay a speed ticket/alimony or whatnot on time/your car smells weed or I thing something’s fishy about you? You’re under arrest!”

          Police officer in situation #2:
          “You just killed two peoples? Do you need to see a doctor? No? That’s okay then…Go home!”

          Talk about sitting in judgement…..

        She is in denial about NOT having a seizure. Her actions oppose her own statement. She claims seizure yet declined medical treatment to prove her statement. She claimed seizure as an excuse for her reckless behavior.

    • Sitting in Judgement says

      April 4, 2016 at 8:45 pm

      First I don’t know that girl at all. Second I never blamed anything on the two deceased. I stated that nobody knows what happened and then states maybe they didn’t stop and why didn’t they look first. That is not blame. Those are questions. All of you have decided she is a murderer. derer and guilty without knowing all the facts and I can’t ask questions. That’s a little one sided don’t you think? Your right the blue Honda is to blame completely because she didn’t stop andwas speeding but that does not make her a murderer if in fact she did have a seizure. Right now it’s an accident not an on purpose. She didn’t shoot them, stab them or maliciously hunt them down to kill them. The two deceased were picked by God to return home not her or any of you who are playing God. All I asked was that you all be respectful and not be judge, jury and executioner without facts and remember that the family didn’t do anything to deserve to hear all this hatred and nastiness.

        April 8, 2016 at 7:21 am

        oh Jesus, they were not picked by GOD. Don’t blame this on God. He wasn’t driving the car. I agree it was not murder by definition. However, she was extremely careless and lacked concern for other drivers, her passengers, and herself on the road. The seizer story is a cover. If it comes out that she indeed has a long history of a health issue fine but til then it wasn’t an accident.

            She did not go and post on Fb to brag or take selfies for 1 that picture is really old and 2 you have no idea how she feels. She is not ok she couldn’t talk to anyone because she couldn’t stop crying, so she meant to put “it’s all over the news” and it auto changed it to “I’m all over the news” and she only put that so people would stop calling. It’s crazy how fast the media manipulated that and all you ignorant minded viewers just loved it. This was nothing more than an accident. But sadly society can’t, won’t, and doesn’t want to accept that. Society is driven on hurt, pain, conflict, and drama. And to prove it let’s see how many negative responses this gets. Our prayers go out to the victim’s families and friends for their losses. And please don’t think for one second that bl was bragging or in any way ok with this, because SHE IS NOT.

        TO GA, her text autocorrect was definitely an accident, but her reckless driving WAS NOT. Most of us can’t imagine how it would feel to kill two ppl bc of our own negligence, however, there are many ppl from the scene that know she did not have a seizure and lied about it. That IMO is a driving force behind ppl bluntness. She f’ed up. Ok admit it and move forward. Again I hope she can learn to deal with this tragedy and provide a warning lecture on how one day of reckless driving ended two lives, changed families for ever, and changed her live. By turning this into a lecture, although ironic, she may, in turn save others.

      Hi this is the niece of the driver who she hit and killed. trust me she is gonna pay for what she did she is not getting away for killing my uncle she showed no remorse to the death of my uncle and did not apologize and its not fair that we are the only ones getting punished losing my uncle was the hardest thing for this family and like it said on the news they are still investigating the scene and what really happened so hopefully she ends up behind bars .

        I’m incredibly sorry for your and the other family’s loss. This story infuriates me because I can’t stop thinking how callous this girl is acting and how horrible those Facebook selfies must look to the families of the victims. It upsets me that someone could be so selfish and narcissistic as to think she’s the victim.

        Bianca
        I am so very sorry for all the pain this girl caused by her decision of careless driving!
        I agree with you, she will pay her does-
        I can assure you that even in her sleep
        She will re-play the crash over and over again, it will
        Hunt her for the rest of her life!

        But most importantly I want to tell you and your family that
        God will heal your pain and he will feel you with peace, that’s more important then what’s coming her way!

        Praying for your family

    Wow….. A seizure huh?!? Being the spouse of someone that is epileptic, A seizure is not a pretty sight and definitely not something to brag about. The fact that this person is claiming to have had a seizure really disgusts me, especially if they are in fact lying to avoid some type of responsibility.

    Not to mention the statements about the passenger in the back seat not “knowing” what happened…. Another lie if in fact she did have a seizure the passenger and the rear seated passenger would have known.

    Although, there are several types of seizures most do not go un noticed.

    • Tell The Truth says

      April 1, 2016 at 2:43 pm

      I do believe the male passenger didn’t see what happened by the the way he was talking, HOWEVER the front female passenger, she knows and just wasnt talking. The driver kept trying to hush her up after the driver got off her phone with her father.

      • Wow says

        April 1, 2016 at 6:03 pm

        Nothing amazes me anymore!… treatment is recommended after a seizure. Also, if this was a pre-existing condition she should have been taking meds as a preventative. In that said she was being irresponsible getting behind the wheel of a motor vehicle knowing that a seizure can happen at anytime with or without warning.

        Regardless, whether it was or was not a medical emergency; the fact remains that she is taking no responsibility for her actions.

        I have never seen anyone recover from a seizure that quickly and be so coherent.

    April 1, 2016 at 1:43 pm

    My husband was on scene prior to any emergency units. The witnesses said the ppl who ran the stop sign had been driving very fast and recklessly on 50th east and almost ran into them prior to the accident on J & 50th where she murder 2 ppl. The lady at fault had no injuries. Sounds like a manslaughter case trying to be covered up with a medical condition, which will be hard to prove; her medical condition because she didn’t accept medical help at the scene.

        If she had a seizure she would not be legally driving because the DMV does not allow you to have a drivers license if you had ever had a seizure, or have lost consciousness behind the wheel. Shes full of sh*t I hope she dies and rots in hell, stupid c**t.

    Terrible tragedy indeed.

    I ALWAYS double check BOTH directions before proceeding at a 4-way stop to make sure the oncoming traffic is slowing down. I do this at red-light intersections as well. 100% of the time. It has saved my life. I don’t give a $hit if it takes a few more seconds to get through the intersection or it holds people up behind me.

    First words out of her mouth, were I don’t know what happened I think I had a seizure. Then she started obsessing over her black crop top marjaunia shirt bc her father would see it and saying how her car was ruined She took the shirt issue so far she started searching through her trunk for another one then went as far to take the shirt off her passengers back. Who btw was so upset she started gagging and had a hard time breathing. After she gave up her shirt you could see a full seat belt bruise coming up. All this [removed] going on while the two victims died. I will forever remember their faces. Another woman on scene reported the same girl had nearly cause an accident minutes earlier by reckless driving and passing at high speed barely missing on coming traffic. Then on Facebook one of their sisters started saying they were critically injured. It was [removed]. The male passenger had no idea what happened bc he was in the back seat on his phone. The female passages seemed to realize the men were gone and was beyond tears. All this bc one distracted selfish act

      This is so horrible. She sounds like she was high off drugs and/or alcohol. Now two people are no longer here to fulfill their lives. Just sad. People think they are the only one driving on AV streets, especially on 50th East. One of my special daughters was hit by a van at an intersection off 50th about a month ago. The guy ran the stop sign too. Praise God she survived–broken leg. But it could have been worse. My family is thankful.

        I WOULD like to see Palmdale improve OUR part of 50th…from Avenue M to the traffic circle…so that as the work force grows a Northrop they aren’t looking at even more overload on the existing rural two lane road. But that’s a different story.

My FACTS are exactly first hand facts on the scene. Funny how you call racism. That little blued mexican killed two mexican men and the truth is being told by this MEXICAN MAN.

          It has nothing to do with racism. But it is a pretty arrogant stance to say “well, if I was in this situation I’d be cool as a cucumber and acknowledging the error of my ways so that’s what she should have been doing.”

          I stopped at the scene of an accident one time and made the mistake of saying “are you all right?” to a guy who was absolutely the least damaged of all the people involved. I was expecting “yeah, check on my friend (the driver of the car he was in)” or “check on the other guys (the other car had taken the worst of it)” or something along those lines, and got “of course not” and a string of profanity, then he pretty much fell out of the car trying to get at me.

          Lesson learned, don’t assume people who have just been in a wreck will respond the way your cool headed analysis says they “should.”

          • Tell The Truth says

            April 1, 2016 at 3:05 pm

            read all my comments. I gave her the benefit of doubt and assume she was in shock and reacted badly. HOWEVER, her follow up facebook selfies are questionable. Having been there and knowing the truth, then seeing the sister of the passenger post LIES and exaggerations to gain sympathy while the two victims were still stuck in their car well that’s a bit harder to accept. Someone needs to step in and get that girl off line ASAP. Plus what’s racist anywhere on this entire thread.

          • Tim Scott says

            April 1, 2016 at 6:40 pm

            I dunno. You said “funny how you call racism” and I was just agreeing with you. There’s nothing to be called racism about this, far as I know.

            I also agree with you about getting her off line, by the way. Unfortunately, we live in a world that rewards people for getting a quick selfie with a bombed up plane hijacker, and similarly stupid grabs for fifteen seconds of fame, so I doubt we are going to get far with that.

      Everything you are saying is the truth!

      It was a terrible day, I can’t stop having bad dreams of that “crash” I’ve been having nightmares, I can’t sleep!
      I don’t call it an “accident” because it was her careless driving that took 2 lives.
      on top of it all she brags about killing 2 people??
      What kind of person is she? What is she made out of?…ICE?
      I wonder what was she trying to prove by speeding up and passing cars when it was not safe to do?
      The sad thing is that she walks away like nothing, mean while the 2 victim’s families are in so much pain

The truth will set her free. I also hear the passenger crying and gagging and see the bewildered look on the male friends face. Again JMO but the simple truth would do a tremendous benefit to all involved. the truth could help began their healing.
