Two males, aged 17 and 18, were killed in a two-vehicle crash in Palmdale, and one of the motorists fled the scene on foot, authorities said Sunday.
The crash occurred at about 10:20 p.m. Saturday in the area of 10th Street West and Avenue O-8, where the two victims were pronounced dead at the scene, according to a watch sergeant at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Palmdale station.
