LANCASTER – A 26-year-old Rosamond man died Monday night after his car rear-ended a big rig on the northbound Antelope Valley (14) Freeway in the Lancaster area, authorities said.

Kevin Farris was pronounced dead at Antelope Valley Hospital after the collision, which happened around 9:20 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23, on the 14 Freeway near Avenue K-8, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

Farris was driving a 2008 Infiniti northbound on SR-14 when, “for reasons still under investigation,” his car struck the rear of a 2020 Freightliner that was hauling a flatbed trailer. The trucker, 32-year-old Mitchell Hernandez of Coachella in Riverside County, was not injured, according to the CHP report.

“Alcohol and/or drugs are suspected to be a factor in this collision,” the CHP report states.

Anyone with information on this crash is encouraged to call Officer D. Jackson at the CHP Antelope Valley Area office at 661-948-8541.

    • He wasn’t trying to get custody of my adopted sister’s baby to him (she is 16 btw), as he told her he wanted nothing to do with the baby (which is 5 months). She isn’t on drugs anymore (he was pimping her out and she is off the drugs he put her on) and both her and the baby are adjusting to foster care. He was impaired, both high and drunk smh may he rest in peace and his 3 children find comfort and love. Oh and he was just 3 days out of jail for beating her up… make sure you tell the whole story buddy James

  2. He was Actually NOT IMPAIRED in any way …He Unfortunately had a juvenile record that followed him as he just got out of prison really turning his life around with a brand new baby he was having custody issues with drug addict baby Mama …
    He was trying to do too much at once ..his Father just bought him the car to help him get on his feet ….

      • Wow, he pimped out a 14/15 year old girl after getting her pregnant and on drugs? His time in prison must’ve been really really really HARD

  3. My deepest sympathies to the parents of this man just starting his life. Impaired, distracted the end result is the same. May God watch over you and bring you peace.
