A 57-year-old man killed in a three-vehicle crash in Lancaster was identified Monday by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.
James Hicksman was a passenger in a Subaru Forester SUV that was crushed between two pickup trucks around 9 p.m. Tuesday, according to Sgt. Michael Politano of the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.
A Ram pickup crashed into the back of the Forester, pushing it into a Chevrolet Silverado, Politano said.
The woman driving the Subaru was taken to a hospital in critical condition, Politano said.
The driver and passengers of the other vehicles sustained minor injuries, Politano said.
The Ram driver was arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated, Politano said.
Anyone with information regarding this collision was asked to call Lancaster Sheriff’s Station traffic investigators at 661-948-8466.
