A 16-year-old Phelan boy and an 18-year-old Victorville woman were killed late Tuesday night in the Cajon Pass in the fourth fatal accident to claim two or more victims in the region since Mother’s Day.
The group of teens were driving westbound on the highway when the truck hit them on the right and pushed them over an embankment before completely crushing the vehicle in a Shell gas station parking lost across the street.
Firefighters responding to the scene worked for two hours to extricate the five passengers from the vehicle.
Lyle and Cabrera were pronounced dead on the scene while their three friends were taken to the hospital.
Two of the critically injured male teens had recently graduated Serrano High School, while the other had just finished his sophomore year.
The dump truck driver was not injured in the crash. She was reportedly working for a subcontractor hired by CalTrans.
