A 13-year-old girl was killed, an 8-year-old girl suffered major injuries and two other people were injured in a head-on crash in Palmdale, the California Highway Patrol said Saturday.

The 13-year-old girl was identified as Lake Los Angeles resident Genenieve Aguilar, the CHP reported.

Aguilar was a passenger in a 2004 BMW that was going eastbound on Pearblossom when the car drifted to the right and onto the paved shoulder.
