The coroner’s office has released the name of the man who was driving an all-terrain vehicle and was killed when it crashed Saturday morning in an unincorporated area of Acton.

The deceased was identified as 51-year-old Gilberto Torres of Palmdale.

California Highway Patrol officers were called at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, to the junction of Forest View Road and Mountain View Road where they found the victim, CHP Officer Patrick Kimball told City News Service.
