ROSAMOND – An 84-year-old Rosamond woman died at the hospital Monday morning following a single-vehicle rollover crash in the Rosamond area, authorities said.
Isabel B. Caadlawon was a passenger in a 2002 Dodge Ram pickup truck that crashed around 8:45 a.m. Monday, Aug. 17, on SR-14 south of Avenue A, according to a California Highway Patrol report.
The pickup truck was being driven southbound on SR-14 by 46-year-old Elizabeth Macauley of Rosamond, according to the CHP report.
“Macauely, for an unknown reason, made an unsafe turning movement and lost control of her vehicle. The Dodge pickup truck subsequently overturned numerous times, coming to rest on its roof in the dirt center median of SR-14,” the CHP report states.
Both Macauley and Caadlawon were transported to Antelope Valley Hospital with major injuries, and Caadlawon succumbed to her injuries at the hospital, the CHP report states.
As CHP officers were investigating, a separate traffic collision occurred in the northbound lanes of SR-14, just north of the first traffic collision.
At approximately 9 a.m., a 2013 Ford Fusion rear-ended a 2004 Ford F-250 pickup truck, according to the CHP report. The driver of the Ford Fusion sustained lacerations to his left hand.
The southbound lanes of SR-14 were completely closed at Avenue A for approximately one hour. The No. 2 lane was reopened around 10 a.m., and the remaining southbound lanes were reopened at approximately 11:30 a.m., according to the CHP report. During the full closure of the southbound lanes, traffic was being diverted onto Avenue A.

A separate traffic collision occurred in the northbound lanes, just north of the first one and just 15 mins after. How come their names weren’t printed? I would like to know the name of the “rubber-necker” who nearly stuffed his Ford Fusion into the rear of the Ford F-250 truck?

Names are NEVER released on that site before they’re officially released. Know your facts!!
Amber says
When I heard about the accident this morning I felt horrible because 11 months ago I lost my father-in-law due to a car accident in Lancaster and still feel the pain of my loss every day, but now my heart breaks even more now that I know who it was. Elizabeth I hope you make it through this and Mrs. Caadlawon may you rest in peace.

Families should always be notified first and its a real shame when they are not!!!! Social media goes too far a lot of the times!
Letlow says
Am I the only one who read the little phrase… “according to the California Highway Patrol.” Do you honestly think an agency as responsible as the Highway Patrol would give out a victim’s name willy-nilly to the media without notifying the next of kin?! Good grief… people just find anything to bicker about. OF COURSE the family was notified!!
Heather says
No the family was not notified before the information was released.
s says
Anyone can take a picture. Posting a picture of an accident is NOT releasing names or any sort of private information.
George Smith says
But if I had a license plate… I be searching like a mad fool.
DM says
Family is always notified before the names are released………SMH

While I do not know these people personally, there was a close relationship between my grandson and their family. My heartfelt understanding goes to the family. Many years ago, when I was in the Army, we were visiting my wife’s family in the Miami area. My daughter was three months old. My mother-in-law told us to leave our infant with her for the day and do something just for us. Had she not done that, I would not have spent several hours with my daughter earlier today. We have visited the Everglades. As we were heading home on northbound US 27 (the called the bloodiest road in America) we were run off the road by a car heading south that was trying to pass another vehicle. This was then a two lane road, one in each direction. I was faced with having to make an instant decision — drive off the road surface onto a steep shoulder into the swamp or hit the oncoming car head-on at a combined speed of more than 100 mph. I pulled of the road and felt the car sliding into the swamp. Judging that, if I got back onto the road, the other car would have paased, I pulled back onto the highway, just in time for the passing vehicle to clip my car on the drives side rear quarter panel. This turned my car immediately to the left. We crossed the road (fortunately, there were no cars on the other side at this time) and, as we hit the swamp on the other side, the forward motion of the car (still doing close to 50 mph)into a roll. I’m not certain how many times we rolled. We came to rest on the driver’s side of the car, with my wife hanging above me. Somehow we both managed to escape anything worse than some bruises. To tell the truth, I am alive today because I WASN’T wearing my seat belt (that was legal then). As we rolled I was thrown to the passenger side, and the roof of the car just over where I had been sitting caved in and would have either severely injured me or killed me. I really don’t know why I wrote all this, as I’m sure its boring. But there was something in me that wanted to tell Mrs. McAuley that I know how terribly frightening it is to roll like that. I intend to let her know, via my grandson, that I am available to talk to her if she should ever want that. I am a Master Addictions Counselor and, although this is not an addiction matter, I do have skills aimed at helping people though difficult times, WITHOUT psychiatric medications.
I’ll stop rambling now.
Connie says
Not rambling. It is very thoughtful of you to take the time to write all this
done. I’m sure they appreciate it but it could take some time if they
should decide to call you. God Bless you

I think what Ashley was getting at is hopefully the family was notified BEFORE the names were published. And @661carpetcleaning if it was YOUR or whoevers family YOU would want to know before you inadvertently saw it on the news. If you don’t want to admit/believe that just ask the family of the little girl whos mother was ran off the road and died and they had to find out from fox news posting her picture everywhere. Or hey you could ask me whos son was in an accident and I found out from pictures posted on a scanner website before my son even had a chance to call and say he was all right. The news outlets used to have respect for privacy and now they don’t. People who think “their right to know” is more important than someone elses right to privacy are what perpetuates the problem of crappy journalism.
MR. PERPLEXED says
Just to let you know, that scanner website is NOT a certified News Outlet. Its mainly a local gossip blog that posts information from the local scanner channels. Some of their members if they are in the area of the accident or crime will post photos right away without first checking the facts and or giving local law enforcement enough time to notify next of kin.
s says
Then don’t go on those sites. It’s not rocket science.
661carpetcleaning says
Who cares Ashley ppl need to no if its there love ones that were in the accident. u acting like there showing the bodies. Rip to Isabel
Ashley says
Are these names posted with permission? I don’t think so…
Janice says
To the family I am so sorry for you lose. Public record, you don’t need permission.
KayDee says
Permission from who? And if you’ve already jumped to the conclusion, why even ask the question? Smh…
