Motorist killed in crash on 14 Fwy

by The AV Times Staff • November 28, 2018

SANTA CLARITA – A motorist was killed Wednesday in a solo vehicle crash on the 14 Freeway in the Santa Clarita area.

It happened around 2:20 a.m. Wesnesday, Nov. 28, on the southbound Antelope Valley (14) Freeway near Technology Drive.

Michael Paul Steen, 28, of Santa Clarita, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck when “for an unknown reason, (he) made an unsafe turning movement and collided into the center median metal guardrail,” the California Highway Patrol reported.

“The Chevrolet continued to travel in a southerly direction out of control and subsequently overturned onto its roof and came to a rest on its wheels,” according to a CHP statement.

Steen died at a hospital.

It was unknown if alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash, the CHP reported.

    “It was unknown if alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash…”

    According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, driving while texting is six times more dangerous than drunk driving.

      There is one, but it’s nowhere near highway 14. Must be a mistake, but it explains why this article is here at all. Guy from Santa Clarita crashes in Santa Clarita isn’t normally going to get coverage in the AV.

    Michael was a kind person and a great neighbor. He was always there to help out, always had a smile and always took the time to say hello. You will be missed.

      This comment is disrespectful and tasteless. It’s so unnecessary and should have never been written. A wonderful beautiful life was lost. Period. Learn some common courtesy and respect.

      Rest peacefully Michael ❤️

      That driving under the influence comment is very inapprioate. His family may see this comment and they do not need to read this hurtful comment. They lost their precious son. Rest In Peace, Michael.
