For reasons that have not been disclosed by authorities, the two men were struck from the rear by a Chevrolet Tahoe in the vicinity of West Grant Line Road at approximately 4:30 am. The impact of the crash propelled the Nissan off the roadway causing it to collide with a dirt embankment.
What Caused the Accident?
The California Highway Patrol have not revealed what caused the accident in their accident report . The driver of the Chevrolet Tahoe is cooperating with the investigation.
