Man killed in Lancaster traffic crash

by The AV Times Staff • January 17, 2022

LANCASTER – A driver died at the hospital Sunday following a traffic crash in Lancaster, authorities said.

The crash happened around 10:53 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 16, near the intersection of Avenue J and 32nd Street East, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.

“Preliminary investigation indicates a male adult in a Chevy Spark was traveling westbound on Avenue J and appeared to make a sudden left or U-turn at the intersection of 32nd Street East into the path of a male adult in a Hyundai Sonata, who was eastbound on Avenue J,” the news release states.

“The solo occupant of the Chevy Spark was transported to Antelope Valley Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries,” the news release states. His name has not yet been released pending next of kin notification, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.

The solo occupant of the Hyundai Sonata sustained minor injuries.

The crash remains under investigation, but speed and DUI do not appear to be a factors in the collision, sheriff’s officials said.

Anyone with information regarding this collision is encouraged to contact the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station at 661-948-8466.

    Prayers for Everyone Involved..A new fence was put up which blocks View For anyone to see properly through to the street east bound onto Ave J from 32nd Street East..Besides the fence being too far onto the street pedestrians have no Walkway!!! And No Handicap Access!!! When the fence went up Myself and many Neighbors agreed The fence will Cause Accidents because it blocks the view of the street..Anyways Why Is there No crosswalk or light considering Many Travel this Road To Eastside High School Even though the Road is Partially Dirt Road Many Teens Travel this Road..FYI The Company that put the fence up Came out to Check out the damage and said they will Bring the fence back to match the opposite side of 32nd street Fence that surrounds the homes…
