Deputies from the LASD’s Santa Clarita Station responded at 11:30 p.m. Friday to the intersection of Newhall Ranch Road and Bouquet Canyon Road. When they arrived, the deputies found several people injured. Multiple people were taken to a hospital and one person was pronounced dead at the scene, Sgt. Joana Warren told City News Service.
One of the victims who was taken to a hospital by Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel was pronounced dead at the hospital.
