The driver has been identified as Fernando Osorio, 60, of Lancaster, who died in a crash on San Francisquito Canyon Road early Monday.

Published 1 min read

Fernando Osorio, 60, of Lancaster, was killed in a single-vehicle car crash on San Francisquito Canyon Road on November 9, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The Rollover on San Francisquito Canyon Road

Highway Patrol officers from the Newhall Office received reports of the crash at about 6 a.m. near Spunky Canyon Road. A spokesperson for the Newhall Area Office said a southbound Toyota Highlander, south of Fire Camp 14, went left across the northbound lane to the east shoulder and rolled over. Osorio was the driver, and officials said he died of his injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival. The passenger had minor injuries and was taken by ambulance to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital.

What the Newhall Highway Patrol Is Still Examining

The Newhall Area office of the CHP is now investigating the crash. CHP officials said alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor. Anyone who saw the crash and has more information is encouraged to call the CHP Newhall Area Office.

Investigators work quickly at the scene because marks on the road and other evidence fade fast. Much of the slower work happens later, away from the scene.

How we wrote this story

Every report here is built the same way: we pull the facts from published news coverage, cross-check them, and review the story before it publishes. See our full methodology.

How we checked it

The commentary set apart from the reporting is reviewed before it is published. Each contributor is a practising attorney who approved the words attributed to them.

That commentary may draw on prior interviews, and a contributor may not be licensed in your state. It is general information, not specific to the incident in this article, and not legal advice for your situation; for a specific matter, consult a licensed attorney in your area.

Lost someone in a crash like this?

Here is what families in California usually need, in the order it comes up.

  1. Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.

  2. Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.

  3. Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.

  4. Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.

  5. Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
