Well Angeles crest is open
Too bad one of the first to drive it didn't finish
Happened June 10, 2011
A driver was killed on Angeles Crest Highway just after 3 a.m. Friday when he lost control of his vehicle, careened up an embankment and crashed into a tree, officials said.
California Highway Patrol Sgt. Becky Lynch told the 818 Now that the accident occurred as the driver, a 21-year-old Pasadena man, drove westbound on Angeles Crest Highway near mile marker 31, about seven miles north of the 210 Freeway. Lynch said investigators suspect that alcohol may have played a role in the crash and that coroner's officials will test to determine the driver's blood-alcohol level.
The section of Angeles Crest Highway between La CaƱada Flintridge and Angeles Forest Highway reopened on Friday after being closed for 17 months to repair extensive fire and storm damage.
