Lancaster man killed in Angeles National Forest crash

by City News Service • July 19, 2019

SANTA CLARITA – A 36-year-old Lancaster man was killed Friday morning when he was ejected from a minivan that tumbled off a road in Angeles National Forest, authorities said.

The single-vehicle crash was reported around 6:25 a.m. Friday, July 19, on Angeles Forest Highway south of Pacifico Mountain Road in the Angeles Crest area, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The victim, identified as 36-year-old Emilio Alvarez of Lancaster, was driving south in a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander, when he failed negotiate a right curve and lost control of the minivan, the CHP reported.

“As a result, the vehicle left the east side of the roadway and overturned several times as it traveled down a steep embankment,” according to a CHP statement. “During the overturn sequence, Mr. Alvarez was ejected and sustained fatal injuries.”

No other passengers or injuries were reported.

Angeles Forest Highway was closed for about four hours while the crash was investigated.

    I have driven this road for 26 years. The speed limit on AFH is 55. The amateurs who don’t know this drive unsafely, endangering their lives and mine. Some drive too slow and refuse to move to the right at passing lanes. Others drive too fast and pass illegally. CHP seldom patrols.

        Kinda has to be since there are very few indigenous peoples left in the area.

    • I'm sure what he meant says

      July 22, 2019 at 10:06 am

      I think he meant in plain English Hispanics can’t you read or don’t you understand
