One man was killed and other vehicle occupants were injured Friday night in a head-on collision at Copper Hill Drive and McBean Parkway in Valencia.

The SCV Sheriff’s Station reported the crash occurred at 8:46 p.m.

“It was a head-on collision between two vehicles,” sheriff officials reported. “One occupant, an adult male, was pronounced dead. Other occupants of the vehicles were transported to hospital. We do not have any more information at this time.”

Video courtesy of News Source L.A. shows firefighters extracting an occupant from a dark-colored vehicle and removing the roof of a pickup truck to extract its driver.

    This is my neighbor in this crash he was not a fault he has a messed up pelvis going into surgery tomorrow also because of 2 broken legs from knee down

  7. JC says:

    It’s what they want. Notice they don’t conduct DUI checkpoints in the Santa Clarita Valley anymore? They should hold the person(s) that stopped having checkpoints accountable for this tragedy.

    • Cleo Johnson says:

      The city manager’s friend got caught up in the traffic during a checkpoint and complained to Ken. Hence, no more DUI checkpoints.

  8. Guss Rob says:

    They need to drop that 55 MPH sign to 45 if not lower… a lot of ppl fly down on McBean also.

  9. Travis says:

    Grew up here all my life , driven copper hill 1000’s of times . How the hell does a head on collision happen . Maybe deputy Shoemaker should start reading his emails and taken our demands serious about the ridiculous speeds people are traveling at and maybe the city should take a look at what they have turned this town into. More people more problems , how many more restaurants and a ability to drinking and driving will you subject the citizens too. Sirens were unheard of , now it’s a daily occurrence. Someone tell me I’m wrong

  10. Anne Jones says:

    Probably been out celebrating Cinco de Mayo so sad. People drive like maniacs lately.
