California Highway Patrol officers are investigating a fatal crash that killed a 17-year-old female jogger on Golden Valley Road on Monday night, officials said.
“A jogger was heading westbound, near Golden Valley Road and Samantha Court, and she was struck by a vehicle traveling southbound on Golden Valley Road,” said Officer John Lutz of the California Highway Patrol.
A boy was driving a 1989 Toyota Celica. The victim is reportedly a Saugus High student.
A Tweet sent out by by Saugus High ASB Twitter account sent condolences to the family and friends of Jennifer Stift.
Stift was a Saugus High senior who was listed on the swim team’s roster for the 2013-14 school year.
No arrests have been made in the incident at this time.
Both the victim and the driver were 17 years old, according to CHP officials.
The name of the driver was not released.
Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the crash, Lutz said, although he added that the investigation was ongoing.
A resident in the area told SCVTV, “There is continuous speeding and racing on that stretch (of road). It’s out of control.”

So sad to hear of this tragedy. My heart goes out to her family and friends. This type of thing will never make sense.
So sad..rip my prayers go out to who are affected
I, for one, had no idea that Golden Valley Road continued up near Plum Canyon. That’s where this all happened.
Condolences to the family. Tragically sad situation :(
Better to arrive 5 or 10 minutes later to your destination than not at all.
I literally run this stretch of road daily…i was maybe 8 minutes ahead of this incident. My heart is broken for the family and driver. God bless them all.

I walk almost every evening on this road. Once Golden Valley Road goes through, traffic will be even more horrendous. Runners, please stay off the blacktop. My heart is so sad for the family and friends of this beautiful soul. May God give them comfort.
That is so unfortunate! The family must be inconsolable and I’m sure the driver is devastated by his actions. Just a horrible tragedy all around.
Prayers
Praying for comfort in Jesus’ Name for Jennifer’s family, and the young man who was driving, and his family. How devastating for all.
