Two Lake Hughes residents were killed in a crash Sunday night after their truck plunged 200 feet down an embankment landing on its roof, north of Santa Clarita.
William Dunn, 56, and Travis Dunn, 22, both from Lake Hughes were killed in the crash, said Sarah Ardalani, spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
Around 10:15 p.m. Sunday, officers with the California Highway Patrol, (CHP) Newhall Area Office responded to a traffic collision on Pine Canyon Road near Tweedy Lakes in Lake Hughes north of Santa Clarita, said Officer Josh Greengard, spokesperson for the Office.
“CHP officers arrived on scene and observed a solo vehicle crash involving a white GMC pickup,” Greengard said. “The driver of the GMC was traveling at a speed which did not allow him to properly negotiate the curve ahead.”
The GMC collided with the guardrail which caused the truck to go airborne and eventually rolled two to three times before coming to rest on its roof approximately 200 feet off the roadway, Greengard said.
As a result, William and Travis Dunn were pronounced dead on arrival by paramedics with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Anyone with information regarding the Lake Hughes crash is encouraged to contact Officer Kovacs at the CHP Newhall Area Office at (661) 600-1600.
