The vehicle was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed and collided with several trees and a traffic signal pole, said Detective Jeff Maag of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s traffic office.
“There were two males (in one vehicle) driving way too fast,” Maag said. “We do believe alcohol was a factor.”
The driver of the vehicle sustained serious injuries and was transported to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in critical condition.
