The crash happened around 8:25 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, at the intersection of Avenue F and 30th Street West.

According to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station:

The male adult was traveling westbound on Avenue F in a Toyota Tacoma. The female adult was driving northbound on 30th Street West in a Chevy Silverado and reportedly did not stop at the posted stop sign at the intersection with Avenue F.
A broadside crash occurred in the middle of the intersection with the male adult driver succumbing to his injuries at the scene.”

His name has not yet been released pending next of kin notification. Authorities did not say what, if any, injuries were sustained by the female driver. Her name was not released.

The collision remains under investigation. It is unknown if speed or alcohol/drugs played a role, sheriff’s officials said.

Anyone with information regarding this collision is encouraged to contact traffic investigators at the Lancaster Sheriff Station by calling 661-948-8466.

  6. RIP to this man

    We have to drive very defensively in the AV, especially in the rural backroads that are a relic from a time in which the population was much smaller here. The yellow line that separates you from oncoming traffic is not a forcefield, and many people blow past stop signs and lights. I personally try to avoid those roads for the most part and I’m willing to add 5 minutes to my drive if it means there’s safer infrastructure along the way.

    • You are very well spoken in the best way I agree and thank u for your comment I live in the 90th west and J it is very dangerous I drive slower with lots of caution the other driver may not yeild or stop .
