LANCASTER – Authorities have identified the man who was killed Thursday morning when the SUV he was driving crashed into two other vehicles at an intersection in Lancaster.

He was 19-year-old Jorge Pena, according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. His city of residence was not known.

The fatal crash occurred around 12:30 a.m. Thursday, April 27, on Avenue J at 40th Street West, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.
