Royal Oaks, CA : Woman dies in head-on crash on San Miguel Canyon Road on Tuesday night, March 14, 2017
One woman died and three people suffered major injuries Tuesday night in a head-on collision on San Miguel Canyon Road and the California Highway Patrol says alcohol is believed to be a factor.
Freedom resident Bryan Garcia, 20, was driving his blue 2010 Honda Accord southbound on San Miguel Canyon Road with two passengers at 11:20 p.m. A witness who was in front of Garcia’s car saw it cross the double yellow lines in the road. The Honda ran head-on into a silver 2011 Nissan Sentra. The Honda continued south and overturned, coming to a rest on its roof and trapping the occupants inside.
The woman in the Honda, who was sitting in the right front passenger seat, was pronounced dead on the scene by fire department personnel. The CHP has not released her name.
First responders extracted the occupants of the Honda and provided first aid. Garcia suffered broken legs and blunt trauma to the face. The man who was riding in the Honda suffered major trauma to his face and lower extremities. Elizabeth Gutierrez, the driver of the Nissan, suffered blunt trauma to the face, head and legs. Garcia was subsequently arrested as a result of the collision.
