Palmdale Girl, 16, Dies After Suspected DUI Driver Slams Into Her Home [View all]

A deputy who was driving a patrol vehicle about 3:50 a.m. near the intersection 10th Street East and Avenue R (map) saw that an SUV had crashed into an apartment building in the 1000 block of East Avenue R, said Lt. Ken Wright of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Additional deputies responded and were alerted by residents that a female occupant had been sleeping inside the room into which the vehicle had become embedded.

The deputies “attempted to enter the building by pulling away a damaged wall but were unable to gain full access,” Wright said.

Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel responded to the location and entered the apartment, where they found a 16-year-old girl who had been fatally injured, according to authorities.
