Two Girls Killed in Separate California Crashes

A 16-year-old girl was killed when she was struck by a car at Rose Avenue and Gonzales Road in Oxnard on the morning of November 5. Police said preliminary findings indicate she was crossing in a marked crosswalk against a red light while the driver had a green light; officers found no signs of impairment, and speed did not appear to be a factor. Several nearby roads were closed during the investigation, which remains ongoing. The intersection is along a corridor the city has identified as a collision hot spot, though that designation does not establish the cause of this crash.
