Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor HACIENDA HEIGHTS - A 24-year-old La Puente woman died after her Hyundai Elantra slammed into a wall early Monday, the California Highway Patrol said.
The CHP identified the woman as Adriana Lisette Barajas. Preliminary information provided in a press release obtained by SGV CityWatch indicated Barajas, the only person in the Elantra, was not wearing safety equipment. The California Highway patrol responded to the intersection at Turnbull Canyon Road and Vallecito Drive at 12:40 a.m. April 12. Investigators believe that Barajas was southbound on Turnbull Canyon Road in excess of the posted 35 mile per hour speed limit. “A collision occurred when the Hyundai impacted the south roadway edge of Vallecito Drive at Turnbull Canyon Road. As a result of the collision, Barajas sustained fatal injuries,” according to the California Highway Patrol. Investigators are trying to determine if alcohol and/or drugs played a factor in this crash. |
