The man that was killed in a crash on the Interstate 5 near the 14 Freeway has been identified by Coroner’s officials.

Andro Barsoum, 20, of Canyon Country, collided with the rear end of a parked semi-truck early Wednesday morning, said Lt. Smith with the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.

The incident occurred on the northbound truck route near the I-5 and 14 freeway connector around 8:25 a.m., according to California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer, Sgt. Pack.

“Newhall CHP were called to a collision on the northbound I-5 to 14 truck route. Upon arrival it was discovered that there was a two-vehicle collision between a black Honda Civic and tractor semi-trailer that was parked on the side,” said Pack.

Barsoum was the sole occupant of the vehicle and no one else was hurt in the crash, Pack said.

The incident is still under investigation.

  1. Cassandra Sue Chavez see this is why I hate driving behind or near big trucks!! ?

  2. The truck was parked.

    I wonder if the man

    Was texting ?
    Fell asleep ?

    Not paying attention ?

    So sad ☹

  3. Regardless of the circumstances this is terrible. R.I.P.

  4. Pedro Ruiz Jacqueline Osores

  5. Brian Durand says:

    Way too many fatalities in Santa Clarita now a days

  6. Please let drive more cautious.

  7. Yea im taking the streets home. Which wont help much. But prayers to this person and their fam

  8. Oscar Lopez says:

    No way. This kind of tragedy is occurring way too often here on the 5 & 14. Drive safe.

  9. Hetty Aquino says:

    He was so young, very sad…

  10. So horribly sad! May God rest his soul ☝

  11. Rocio Garcia says:

    He fell asleep poor to much work???

  12. Paul Mahone says:

    Cars need to stay out of the truck lanes. People drive like a bunch of lunatics on the 14. People need to wake up early enough to get to work on time without driving like a total dick. I’m sick of it. I take the 5 just to avoid being on the 14 for just a few miles.

  13. I take surface streets almost all the way from Acton to Beverly Hills every day because of all the maniacs. Of course they are all now taking Sierra Highway with me! I don’t know why people don’t wake up. You’d think seeing a corpse hanging from a freeway sign would make people think twice about driving this way, but it’s business as usual!

  14. Yesi Flowers says:

    Stacy Bremner White glad you didn’t have to deal with this traffic.

  15. John Brown says:

    Got what he deserved. Truck routes are for trucks, not lazy 4 wheelers who have their own lanes to be in.

  16. This is very tragic. I hope he wasn’t trying to pass on the shoulder of the truck lane. I’ve seen to many drivers doing that. It’s not worth your life. RIP young man

  17. I hope he wasn’t texting… This is sad.
