Santa Clarita, CA (January 7, 2026) – A deadly collision involving two vehicles occurred Tuesday evening near Agua Dulce in Santa Clarita, resulting in one death and leaving another person injured.
The crash took place at approximately 6:20 p.m. on December 6 in the 8500 block of Sierra Hwy, just south of Anthony Rd. According to the California Highway Patrol, the accident involved an Acura sedan and a Toyota RAV4 SUV. Preliminary reports indicate that the sedan may have been traveling in the wrong direction when it struck the SUV head-on, causing major front-end damage to both vehicles.
Fire crews from Station 81 arrived at the scene and worked to extricate a trapped occupant from one of the vehicles. That individual was later transported to a local trauma center, though their current condition remains unknown. The driver of the Acura sedan was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Traffic was halted in both directions on Sierra Hwy while emergency responders managed the wreckage and began the investigation. Authorities are working to confirm whether speed, impairment, or other factors contributed to the crash.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the family of the deceased, and we hope for a full recovery for the injured individual.
