PALMDALE – One person was killed and three were injured Saturday in a three-vehicle crash in Palmdale in which one vehicle rolled down an embankment near the railroad tracks, authorities said.

The crash was reported at 2:44 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, at Pearblossom Highway and Small Road, the California Highway Patrol said.

Details on the crash are still under investigation, but one victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Ron Singleton said. A man in his 60s and a woman in her 60s were in “moderate condition,” and taken to a trauma center, Singleton said.

A 19-year-old man was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

A sedan rolled down the embankment near the tracks reportedly used by Metrolink, the CHP said.

As a result of the crash, Metrolink’s Antelope Valley train 265 from Los Angeles to Lancaster was held at Vincent Grade/Acton while the car was removed from the tracks, Metrolink spokesman Scott Johnson said. The car was removed about 4:15 p.m. and the train resumed service after a 25-minute delay, Johnson said.

Editor’s note: We will update this story as more details on the collision become available.

  1. Editor please update this page.
    The driver in the gray car passed away in February. He didnt recover from the injuries from the accident.

  3. Hey choy boy, the sooner you get out the better this place will be. Oh and…May God keep you safe on your journey…. drive safe!

  4. Well if that mustang’s driver was the person that was killed then I seen that individual at barrel springs jogging trail doing what I believe to be witchcraft while he was deep in the woods witch leads me to believe he messed with some forces he shouldn’t have messed with come to think of it i kept picturing him and that mustang’s rims prior before this incident….huh anyway always drive safe and remember who came and died for us to be doing dumb shit like that in jesus christ name I confess and accept my disciplinary actions for only god knows what iv sinned best of luck to us that might have fallen asleep or still live in the darkness repentance and believing is the key to salvation and eternal glory peace be with us all.

    • did you know that only religious nut jobs are the ones who believe in satan, witches and all that other nonsense…I tell that to the jehovas witnesses when they make the mistake of knocking on my gate…

  5. I drive to and from work on pearlblosom and seen many accidents here I just can’t understand why there’s no center divider from the 14 down to 30th it would save so many lives.

  6. Wow some real carnage there.
    Looks like he missed the RAMS game
    Should have stayed off the highway in
    Miserable traffic conditions

  8. Yes the combination of speeding and bad driving equals innocent lives being taken. The speed limit on Pearblossom was increased to 65 last year so divers are driving 70 plus and there has been 6 fatalities and many solo accidents Antelope Valley is desert community were thousands live, not open desert where you drive miles with no traffic to buy a gallon of milk.

    • This is so ridiculous they should lower the speed limit everywhere in the antelope valley people r speeding with no reason and causing fatar accidents.

    • Always remember to thank God when you arrive safely. Accidents can happen to anyone anywhere. If this was your family member, you’d say different. Pls be kind.

      • Hmmm based on all the crosses placed along the side of many roads up here in the AV, leads me to think that christians are really bad drivers…or is that the devil, the cause of most accidents is usually the NUT behind the steering wheel, not some sky daddy, or his imaginary nemesis….I can’t wait until i move away from this hellhole, way way too many religious nut jobs and cult houses up here.

        • You’re just looking for comments with anything religious to throw your stupid tantrums on, sounds like you got issues

      • Thanks K that was my brother a dedicated nurse who torched many lives, he was a father, a son, a friend it’s good to have kind words and remember tomorrow is not promised to anybody

    • 1. I’m not with AV Scanner get your facts straight.
      2. If you do something expect to get caught #criminal
      3. If I’m doing something wrong so is every other news person IN THE WORLD!
      4. I have 4 jobs, this isnt even 1 of them. I’d say that’s 4-0 by looking at your spelling ;-)

      If you want to attempt to pitifully attack a female at least make sure it’s the truth.

      • It’s more likely “Carla” is coming for him ….and Carla s a B*#&@ ….as the saying goes ; )

    • What a [removed] comment if “ homie “was speeding then he deserves to die and who cares what makes you sick

    • High dessert community…Lil’ homie Eddie says it’s O.K. to snitch. He says doing the right thing is exposing the wrong in the high desert community of A.V., and everywhere else.

  10. It amazes me how bad some drivers are here in the AV. I’ve seen accidents where there was only two cars on the road and they still managed to collide. Slow your row folk. It’s better to reach your destination late, than not arriving at all.
