MOJAVE, CA (January 3, 2024) – A man died in a three-car pileup on Highway 14 in Mojave Thursday evening on December 21.
 
The fatal crash happened around 8:00 p.m. near mile marker 47. According to the California Highway Patrol, 52-year-old Eligio Gonzalez of Inyokern was driving a Ford F-250 northbound on Highway 14. He sideswiped a 2016 Kenworth truck-tractor pulling a 2016 enclosed Wabash trailer, driven by 48-year-old Marisol Aguirre of Southgate.
 
The impact caused Gonzalez to lose control of his car and hit a southbound Mazda CX-50.
 
Kern County Fire Department crews responded and pronounced the driver of the Mazda dead at the scene. Authorities only identified him as a 29-year-old Long Beach resident.
 
Gonzalez and the Mazda’s passenger, 30-year-old Joselyn Brown of Tarzana, both suffered major injuries. Paramedics took them to Antelope Valley Hospital for treatment.
 
Meanwhile, Aguirre was not injured.
