Two people died after car fell down hillside in Deer Springs, California

Two people died after their car fell down a hillside in the Deer Springs area, California.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) said the single-vehicle crash took place at around 10:30 p.m. off Lawrence Welk Court.

According to CHP officials, a 2016 Toyota Scion was heading eastbound on Lawrence Welk Court when it went off the roadway and down an embankment.

Officials had a call from several people reporting that their friends had become a victim of a crash just after midnight. The friends who reported the crash said they spotted the accident of the car about 500 feet down a hillside.

Responding emergency crews attended the scene to find two people in the vehicle. The car’s 19-year-old driver, a male from Vista, and a male passenger were declared dead at the scene.

The CHP is looking for a second vehicle that may have been associated with the crash.

Officials said the two crash victims had just left a nearby party before the crash took place in Deer Springs.
