1 Injured in Newhall Car Accident
The crash happened early Sunday on the northbound 14 Freeway south of Newhall Avenue.
A passenger suffered minor injuries in a car crash on the northbound 14 Freeway south of Newhall Avenue in Newhall on November 8, according to the California Highway Patrol.
How the 14 Freeway Crash Unfolded
At about 6:55 a.m. Sunday, the CHP Newhall Area office was alerted to a collision involving two vehicles. A CHP unit that arrived found a black Mercedes E450 and a black GMC 3500 that was towing a pull-trailer. The GMC's passenger went to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, where the CHP said the injuries were minor.
The CHP said the Mercedes driver, Brian Navarrete, 23, of Palmdale, was arrested for felony DUI causing injury. He was then booked into the jail at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
Where the CHP Newhall Investigation Stands
The CHP Newhall Area office handled the response and the arrest. The agency has not announced any further details about the crash or any charges beyond the arrest.
Blood test results from a state lab can take weeks, so charges sometimes come well after a crash.

Affected by an accident like this?
Here is what people in California usually need, in the order it comes up.
Emergency care. Emergency rooms must check and stabilize you, even if you can't pay. The bill comes later.
Your vehicle. Tow yards usually charge for every day a towed vehicle sits there.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Hospital bills. Most hospitals have a program that cuts bills for people with low income, and you can apply months after the first bill.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
