LANCASTER – A 28-year-old Palmdale man died Wednesday in a single-vehicle crash in Lancaster, authorities said.
The time of the traffic collision is still unknown, but officers were dispatched around 9:43 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, to the Avenue L onramp to the southbound Antelope Valley (14) Freeway, according to a California Highway Patrol report.
Preliminary information indicates the driver was in a 2004 Honda Accord headed eastbound on Avenue L at an unknown speed when he entered the southbound SR-14 on-ramp, veered left and hit a concrete raised curb, according to the CHP report.
“Following this impact, the Honda traveled out of control and into a culvert located between the main portion of Avenue L and the on-ramp. The Honda subsequently collided [with] a tree,” the CHP report states.
The driver sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not yet been released pending next of kin notification, but he was a 28-year-old Hispanic man from Palmdale, according to the CHP report.
The collision is still under investigation. Anyone who witnessed this crash is encouraged to contact the CHP’s Antelope Valley Area Office at 661-948-8541.
UPDATE: The deceased has been identified as 28-year-old Michael Alarcon of Palmdale, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.

… but for no good reason than their inability to control themselves, their alcohol, and their cars, the Mexicans are driving up the cost of insurance, for everyone.
Resident says
Little joe, Your ignorance and hate is showing, RIP young man

Yesterday I realized what should be the new symbol for the AV: a screaming, snotty-nosed, dirty Mexican kid.
I M A Nobody says
Um… I think AV times may want to remove or replace the story cover photo out of respect for the family.

While you ppl saying negative things about this man look what his family had to say:It brings me of great anguish to have to communicate the loss of a great brother, friend and combatant of OUR great Union. Michael Alarcon Jr. wasn’t just another apprentice who was inspiring to be a great Journeyman, he had ambitions to want to be apart of something that was going to turn his community into a Blue Collar Union Town. When ever his local called upon him he was there, whenever he wasn’t working he was there at the AV Weld Shop, whenever a brother/sister was in need he was THERE For All Of Us. Mike gave the true meaning to the name AV REGULATOR and a Great Union Man. He wasn’t one to sit back and hope for the best nor allow anybody else to put up a fight for the betterment of his brothers/sisters without getting his hands dirty. The kid did nothing but GIVE unselfishly to his Local and never asked for anything in return. He was one hell of a man❤️. On late evening of October 16th at the young age of only 28 he tragically lost his life in a car accident. Words cannot describe the heart break that I have for him and his family. All that I ask is to please keep the family in your prayers and if you have any questions regarding services or want to be of any help to the family please contact me at

Cristian says
To all the people leaving those bad unnecessary comments. I say F U. You pieces of s#/+. May you rest easy brother
Danelda says
Ok now if the family n friends of this man who list his life make it past all the rudeness that may be funny in private to some with morbid sense of humor but is rather rude n cruel to be posted on an open comment where it may be seen by those who would only be hurt further, if they make it past that n even see this please accept my sincerest condolences n sympathy for your loss n wishes that you are able to find comfort and strength to get you thru this time of sadness and hurt and loss until the time when what may seem hurtful now becomes a memory of the happiness n love of your loved one. Peace to you all.
Angie says
Thank you so much Danielle you’re truly an angel!

A woman was found beaten too death behind the Vons on L & 40th Street West today!
Jr says
That’s terrible. I hope she may rest in peace and peace be with her family. God bless her and the family. I was wondering what had happened….do you happen to know if the story is published anywhere? Thank you.
Karenprayers says
No no story just a threat by a jerk posting anger. I garentee a friend of the cop killer… Same location… Detectives trace the ipl address from the post just in case a woman was murdered. Thats the neighborhood of the cop killing gang. Serious post i think.
.
Its your duty.
Nick NIck says
The picture looks like the person is under the car to the side… This accident may have had different results if the person was wearing a seatbelt. it does suck big time, and i saw on some other stories that the driver was a union iron worker and a good person. PLEASE people the comments I read here are not going to get anywhere but under peoples skin. Adults should be better than this. When I grew up here in the AV people were there for you and family, even if they were not. RIP and my condolences to the family.
Alexis says
Was this absolutey necessary? Someone LOST THEIR LIFE, why dont you go find some purpose to yours.
Alexis says
Hello Laura,
Thank you so much for your insincerity and lack of respect for human life- its truly appreciated! As a close family friend of this man that died, I say this from the bottom of my heart… have fun in hell! Now, as a Mexican-American woman whom, despite popular belief, does not need to be handled by a man, can handle my alcohol, and drives a brand new car without a single dent on it… you are a C U N T.
Have a fantastic day.
Theres says
Very well said.
Angie says
Thank you Lexi!
Joe says
I’m really hoping you haven’t reproduced and don’t plan to Laura , the world needs people like you to die off. You’re truly the ugly scum of the earth and your family and people around you should be ashamed and disgusted by you.
Michelle says
Linda. Cee You Next Tuesday.
Zoonk says
Oh, a Honda. Not surprised.
Alexis says
Oh, someone hiding behind a computer screen and fake name-not surprised.
Timothy says
