A man from Lake Hughes was killed on Thursday after reportedly making an “unsafe turning movement,” and being ejected from his vehicle in a fatal Palmdale crash.
At around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, the body of 28-year-old Anthony Desantis of Lake Hughes was reportedly found on the northbound side of 35101 Cheseboro Road north of Barrel Springs Road in Palmdale, according to an official with Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner.
Officials believe that Desantis had been driving a 2006 Mazda 3 at the time.
“For undetermined reasons, (Desantis) made an unsafe turning movement, allowing the vehicle to veer to the left across the southbound lane and onto the west dirt shoulder,” wrote Officers Monique Mischeaux, spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Antelope Valley Office, in an email to KHTS Friday. “The vehicle went airborne and overturned.”
Desantis was reportedly not wearing a seatbelt at the time, and was ejected from the Mazda 3, causing the 28-year-old to sustain fatal injuries, according to Mischeaux.
The Lake Hughes resident’s next of kin has been notified, Mischeaux added.
As of Friday morning, officials did not know whether or not alcohol or drugs were a factor in the collision.
“Tragically, another life was lost here in the Antelope Valley as a result of a preventable traffic collision,” Mischeaux wrote. “This is the 10th person killed so far this year in the Antelope Valley CHP jurisdiction.”
Anyone with information regarding this collision is encouraged to contact Officer Alonzo at the Antelope Valley CHP Office at (661) 948-8541.
