PALMDALE, CA (November 5, 2019) – Five people, including two children, were hurt in an alleged DUI Crash on 50th Street on Sunday, November 3.
 
According to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials, the accident happened just before 6:30 p.m. along 50th Street, near Palmdale Boulevard.
 
Witnesses said that a red Honda Civic had been heading southbound. It illegally passed other vehicles by crossing into opposing traffic, said Deputy Hawkins of the sheriff’s Palmdale Station. The Civic was occupied by two adults, including the driver, and two children.
