DETAILS:
On Sunday October 26, 2008 at about 1:00 A.M. Officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to an Injury collision at the intersection of Harbor Blvd and Channel Islands Blvd. Upon arrival, officers found that the Ford Mustang had collided into a traffic signal pole, with such force, that it caused the front end of the vehicle to twist upside-down. The vehicle continued another 100 feet before coming to rest on the south sidewalk of Channel Islands Blvd. Officers also found a male lying on the ground next to the Ford. The male sustained fatal injuries as a result of the collision and was pronounced dead by the Oxnard Fire Department personnel.
A female passenger was also found inside the vehicle, and she was rushed by Gold Coast Ambulance to Ventura County Medical Center with major injuries. Officers have not been able to interview her as of yet, due to her injuries.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the Ford Mustang was traveling southbound on Harbor Blvd at a very high rate of speed. When it came upon the curve in the roadway, the driver lost control of the vehicle and struck the traffic pole. At this time it is undetermined if alcohol was a factor in the collision.
