Please! I am begging you all to not look at your phone while driving. PLEASE!!!!! It will ruin your and your families’ lives. PLEASE!
Nobody was on their phone. I know the driver of the other car and he never saw the other car due to a large UPS truck that was blocking his view. If you know that intersection, it makes sense. Why don’t you, instead of assuming things about a crash and spreading false information about what happened, you should take the time to educate yourself on what happened. He feels awful about it. I hope Ryan makes full recovery❤️
Thank you for taking time to remind us, your neighbors. Of the need to slow down and the importance of prayer. We have lived in the Santa Clarita Valley for just under a year. While enjoying the beauty of the Valley and the joy of having my Son’s Family and my beautiful Grandchildren five minutes away, I have noticed speeding cars and horrific accidents. If just a few people slow down and take head to your message, we will be a little bit safer. Thank you.
?
Prayers for Ryan as he heals his little precious body.. I was detoured from his accident & I prayed for them as I was re-routed from Sierra to Vasquez & that Signal needs a Green turn Arrow.. So many accidents & deaths here, very sad…..
For a town that spans so many miles and that SCV is a big area its almost normal that that amount of accidents happen. But deaths I agree there’s a lot
?????????????????? for Ryan and his family.
I agree! It needs a green arrow but folks need to realize that they need extra time when driving during busy times. People’s lives matter. The SCV is filled with accidents it seems, because everyone is in such a hurry.
??????
Worth the wait to save a life ???????
I never go that way. May save a few minutes but it’s too dangerous. ?
So well said……praying for this young man and his family.
….I’m the driver of the car that got hit & there was no yellow light and he wasn’t turning from Vasquez, so this is post is a little irrelevant to our accident. He failed to yield making the left ONTO Vasquez from Sierra highway as I was going already up to the intersection. Something needs to be done about this whole road and these little traffic lights, I’ve seen too many accidents because people are in a rush to get to wherever is so important, and now my little brother is a victim with a broken back. #prayersforryan
So sorry. Praying!
I know the other driver. He feels AWFUL. I can’t stress that enough. Awful. He wasn’t in a rush, just heading home on a route he takes all the time. He never saw you. He was watching a big UPS turning right. Maybe his view was obstructed somewhat by the truck. We are all praying for Ryan. This intersection has been host to other accidents and even fatalities and needs a protected left. I’m so sorry.
It was a general statement about accidents happening on that road as a result to people being in a rush. I see people speeding down it in a rush to get to the city every day. It was an accident, and they just happen. Me nor anybody else is blaming him for the outcome of it, no body thinks he woke up that morning saying I’m going to hit and hurt someone. But like you said this intersection and road have caused many accidents fatalities and something must be done to make it safer. I’ve thanked God every day Ryan is still alive. I hope he (the other driver) is ok too, I know he was involved just as much me and my brother.
Im so sorry I’ll will pray 4ur brother & ur family
I’m sorry this happened.. God speed….?
We love you Kayla Creamer sending lots of love and prayers
Prayers for sweet Ryan ♡
Lots of prayer

As someone who recently moved from Santa Clarita from another area in So Cal the first thing I noticed was how crazy and fast people drive. Also how ridiculously long it takes for the light to change. Makes for some really bad driving decisions.
Santa Clarita drivers are straight up CRAP! In a hurry to get to nowhere in a desert.
Yep
Try being here.

For many years there wasn’t a light at that intersection at all. The signal was installed after the Northridge quake when so many drivers wanted to use Vasquez as an alternative to the 14 and couldn’t because heavy traffic on Sierra made the left turn from Vasquez to northbound Sierra impossible. Having SCT Line 5 service Sierra up to Vasquez and turn around north of Vasquez also contributed to the decision to install a traffic light at that intersection, I believe.
I am not sure what the answer is, if there is one. More frequent light cycles, perhaps?
Except you don’t travel far enough.
Neither vehicle was turning onto Sierra Hwy. The vehicle was traveling north on Sierra Hwy turning left onto Vasquez. There was a large Ups truck coming south and turning right onto Vasquez. The vehicle with the child was traveling south – he never saw her. I think his view was obstructed by the truck. We NEED a protected left turn there.
Poor little guy, just sad! Where is Santa Clarita?
Newhall/Valencia area.
Just curious… Why are you on this site, if you don’t know where Santa Clarita is?
Because a friend posted it, is that a problem??
Nothing worse when adults make mistakes and children get hurt. Get well soon
Prayers ?
Prayers for Ryan!
Edel Vizcarra something Mike might have to look into? Or is this city?
Amen.We Praying.Blessings
Most lights in SCV should be protected left turn signals … The city should be held responsible for this accident. And several other accidents which have hurt or killed children. The city keeps track of the amount of accidents at intersections though Out SCV. If they feel there are to many accidents at a particular intersection they will add a protected signal. Sad. If they would have already had the protective signal at this intersection that poor little boy would not be suffering right now. Prayers to him and his family.
Praying for Ryan??
Praying !!!
Praying bless his heart. I live close and I m so done with accents there….
Praying
My prayers for all involved.
Kayla I talked to the City about this and talked to Mike Antonovich Field Marshal about the traffic two months ago. 11 accidents on Sierra Hwy in front on COC. Vasquez Canyon and Sierra Highway both my sons where hit head on a couple of years ago and survived cars totaled. City tells me Sheriff Dept says not enough patrol men to cover the whole city. From from Vasquez to college of the canyon over 22 accidents in the last couple of years.
We’ve talked to people too, we just moved up on Sierra highway from castaic in April and its ridiculous how many accidents I’ve seen, not to mention all the times I have avoided being hit driving down it. Something needs to be done, our family is considering moving again already because of how dangerous it is. All they say is that there’s nothing really to be done. It’s sad
????
Prayers
Praying for this young man. (Vasquez Sierra is in county, not city)
???
I totally agree.with you Kayla Creamer I so hope that the city of Santa Clarita will do some thing about that intersection. you and your family are in my prayers hope your little brother is doing better
Thanks Tammy. Xoxox
Sweet angel
Accidents are unavoidable as we are all not perfect and make mistakes but Distracted driving is a huge problem three days….
If everyone put
Their phones away while
Driving. that may make a bit of a difference!
My God heal his little body and soul. Get well.
