PALMDALE \u2013 An 18-year-old Acton man was killed Thursday in a vehicle crash in Palmdale, according to the Palmdale Sheriff\u2019s Station.<\/p>\n
Blake Cadoret was pronounced dead at the hospital from injuries sustained during a collision, which took place around 3:15 p.m. Thursday on Sierra Highway, about 400 feet from Avenue R, according to Detective Jeff Perkins.<\/p>\n
Perkins said Cadoret was driving a Toyota Tercel southbound on Sierra Highway, when a BMW going northbound, swerved into Cadoret\u2019s lane and collided with his vehicle.<\/p>\n
Perkins said the driver of the BMW, 20-year-old Natanael Mendez-Soltero of Palmdale, sustained minor injuries in the crash.<\/p>\n
Perkins said detectives are still interviewing witnesses and had made no arrests as of Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Cadoret\u2019s death marks the third traffic fatality in Palmdale this week.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Nov. 14, two separate traffic deaths occurred in Palmdale.<\/p>\n
Around 5:45 p.m., Alberta Damas Olivas, 65, of Palmdale, was struck and killed as she crossed the street in an unmarked crosswalk near 27th Street and East Avenue R.<\/p>\n
The driver, Marco Tulio Borrayo, 68, of Palmdale, suffered minor injuries in the collision and was not charged. The accident is still under investigation.<\/p>\n
Also on Monday, at around 11:15 p.m., 25-year-old Michael Farrell died at the scene, after his motorcycle broadsided a vehicle that was making a left turn near Avenue S and 55th Street East. The two occupants in the vehicle were not injured.<\/p>\n
Perkins said, before this week\u2019s traffic fatalities, they had been having a \u201cslightly less than average year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was an oddball week for us,\u201d said Perkins. He said now Palmdale is up to eight traffic fatalities for the year.<\/p>\n
Perkins said Palmdale hasn\u2019t had traffic deaths in the double digits since 2007 when there were 12 traffic deaths.<\/p>\n
He says there were six traffic deaths in 2010, three in 2009, and five in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
