On Saturday, 24-year-old Isaac Barrera and 34-year-old Eliyu Arellano lost their lives following a two-vehicle collision on Interstate 15.
As per the initial information, the fatal car crash took place moments after 2 a.m. on the northbound freeway near the Clinton Keith Road off-ramp. The early reports showed that a Mercedez-Benz and a Ford Escape crashed into each other for unknown reasons. According to the officials, the occupants of the Mercedes were killed in the accident.
A 26-year-old man from Santa Ana and another person were riding in the Ford. The Santa Ana man incurred only minor injuries and was provided medical aid at the scene while his passenger remained unharmed. Barrera and Arellano succumbed to their injuries at the scene. Both the victims were not buckled up at the time of the collision and were ejected from the vehicle.
Reports further added that the Mercedes was going northbound on Interstate 15 with speeds of 100 mph. Just then, the driver made an unsafe lane change and sideswiped the Ford Escape. It is unclear if intoxication played a role in the accident. No other details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
