2 killed in fiery solo crash near Lancaster

by •

LANCASTER – The California Highway Patrol has released more information on the fiery single-vehicle crash near Lancaster early Wednesday morning that killed two people.

The collision happened at midnight on Wednesday, June 15, on Avenue H just east of 115th Street East, according to a CHP report.

Both victims were in a 2006 Mitsubishi that was headed eastbound on Avenue H at an unknown speed when, for unknown reasons, the vehicle traveled out of control “and entered the desert landscape, where it struck a berm before overturning multiple times,” the CHP report states.

“After the crash, the vehicle caught fire and became fully engulfed in flames,” the CHP report states. The male driver and his female passenger sustained fatal injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene, according to the CHP report.

Coroner’s officials are still working to identify the victims, currently listed as John Doe #177 and Jane Doe #75.

“The involvement of alcohol and/or drugs is unknown and under investigation,” the CHP report states.

Anyone with information regarding this crash is encouraged to contact Officer Gonzalez at the CHP Antelope Valley Area office at 661-948-8541.

  1. So sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. I am sure there was no offense intended in that article, in any way. When positive identification has not been verified at time of publishing, this is the appropriate way to inform readers of what IS known, such as a male and female victim… people who had been thought to be positively ID’d but weren’t verified to be certain have had the wrong names in reports and that causes great emotional trauma and shock, especially if family or loved ones are first learning of such an event through reading of article… just as making notification to the family with mistaken identity. It is all tragic, and please know that people who are aware of this tragedy are thinking of you and feeling sincere sympathy for what you are suffering, and are asking God to be with you to aid and comfort you.

  3. She is not a Jane Doe… she was a beautiful and loving person. Our family is jumping through hoops to get her released from the coroner!

    • It’s a terrible thing to hear, I know, my daughter was a Jane Do when she passed. No ID on site. My deepest condolences

    • My exact thoughts when reading this, I know they don’t know her and this is an article but that “Jane doe “was a person and just like you said a beautiful person! Always so sweet and loving to everyone! She didn’t deserve to be taken so early in life and in the way it happened. So sorry for yours and your family’s loss! She is truly going to be missed!

    • Everyone at New Road Recovery Services sends their condolences and are sorry for your loss. She will be missed and so will he. We loved them very much and are hearts are broken….

    • My deepest condolences CG. There have been so many accidents and deaths that I check our local news daily, fearing that someone I know was killed. It’s especially heartbreaking when they were decent loving people. So sorry.

  4. Man I read this online news every day it’s so stressful when the victims are Jane does

    • Gotta think that in fairly short order someone says “hey my neighbors drive a 2006 Mitsubishi and they seem to be missing.” Or employee…or friend…or something like that. It is a sad thing though.
