Three of the four people killed in a rollover crash in Wrightwood early Friday morning have been identified.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified them as 19-year-old Jason Potter, 20-year-old Nevaeh Harper and 21-year-old Rebekah Cabral-Gonzalez. The identity of the fourth person was not available. All of them are from the Wrightwood area.<\/p>\n
The single-vehicle crash was reported on Highway 2 near Flume Canyon Drive around 1:30 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
Investigators say several people were ejected from the Hyundai Veloster that went down an embankment and flipped several times before striking a pole.<\/p>\n
The CHP said six people were in the hatchback, which only has five seats. Four people died at the scene, and two people were airlifted to the hospital in critical condition, authorities said.<\/p>\n
“Preliminary investigation indicates that none of the occupants were wearing seat belts at the time of the collision, and that alcohol is likely a contributing factor in this crash,” the CHP said.<\/p>\n
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three of the four people killed in a rollover crash in Wrightwood early Friday morning have been identified.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":455006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49,38819],"class_list":["post-455005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-wrightwood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/455006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
