The Los Angeles County Coroner has identified the woman who was killed in a fatal crash in Agua Dulce early Wednesday morning.
The victim was identified as 23-year-old Monique Michelle Garcia of Castaic, said Lt. Elissa Fleak with the Coroner’s office.
Garcia was driving a 2005 silver Nissan Sentra northbound on Sierra Highway around 3:20 a.m., north of Davenport Road, when she traveled over the double yellow line into southbound lane and collided with a 2015 black Dodge Dart that was traveling southbound, said CHP Officer Josh Greengard.
The two vehicles collided head on; Garcia sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, Greengard said. The driver of the Dodge was transported to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Alcohol is suspected to be a factor in the collision, the cause is still under investigation, Greengard said.
Both northbound and southbound lanes of Sierra Highway were closed for more than four hours, Greengard said.

Please always drive safe and as I always say nothing good happens after midnight
We desperately need more cops in serria hwy . I drive it everyday and I have to deal with crazy drivers
Me too they need to lower speed limit like they did on Bouquet
Unfortunately lowering the speed limit isn’t going to stop idiots who are already exceeding the current speed limit, more cops, more speeding tickets issued!!!
Yes it doesn’t stop them from speeding (I’ve had a motorcyclist literally cut a coyote in half in front of my driveway he was going so fast), or from illegally passing on the double yellows.
The cops could fill up the ticket book like no other has .
Drunk driving is not a lack of cops issue. It is a bad choice made by a driver.
Rip my friend ?
Sonny Teague know anything about this?
Rest In Paradise Shelly!!! ???

Sad BUT so SELFISH to drink and drive!! Why drink at all??
Oh no i cant believe it ???
Totally agree sad but for once it wasn’t a innocent life normally the people who drink crash someone and the other person passes . But RIP reminder don’t drink and drive I lived right there
Fairness, they didnt say which driver is suspected of DUI – condolences to all that love this precious girl
RIP so sad
When will these young/people learn not to drink & drive ?
There are precious few traffic cops anywhere around Santa Clarita. I live in SC on a major week day road / weekend race track and asked a Sheriff’s deputy why they don’t troll for speeders. He said they are full aware of the problem but too many violators go to court and have their ticket removed. Given the court situation, he said that they lose money on tickets because so few are paid. That was his answer…I’m not sure I buy it and it is certainly not a good one. We need more patrols, especially during drinking hours.
OMG….! What a horrible thing God bless you
I’m so tired of these senseless stories. How very sad for the families. Please don’t drink and drive. It’s a choice. Be smarter people.
My condolences to you and her family
