3 Die, Teen Arrested in DUI Crash on The Old Road in Castaic
CASTAIC, CA (July 5, 2024) — Three people died in a fiery DUI accident on The Old Road near Parker Road early Wednesday.
The fatal DUI crash happened around 12:30 a.m. when a teen driver lost control of what possible was a Toyota Camry. Subsequently, the high-speed car veered out of control and struck a tree and a light pole before catching on fire.
Soon after, California Highway Patrol officers and Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to assess the accident. Firefighters extinguished the flames of the burning car only to find three people dead inside the charred wreckage. Their injuries were so severe that officials could not identify them, only describing them as two men and a woman in perhaps their young adult years.
The driver of the car, however, exited the burning vehicle in an unknown condition. Police said she exhibited obvious signs of impairment and arrested her for DUI.
Authorities had no other information on this fatal accident. However, they will investigate this matter further.
Our heartfelt sympathies are with the bereaved families and friends of the victims.
