2 People Killed in Horrific Traffic Crash on Highway 118 [Ventura County, CA]

Ventura County, CA (October 30, 2024) On Sunday morning, the horrific traffic crash on Highway 118 left a 33-year-old woman from Canoga Park and a 54-year-old man from Simi Valley lifeless.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the fatal accident happened at about 6:05 a.m. on Highway 118 near Rocky Peak Road in Simi Valley.

Reports say that a tragic accident early Sunday morning on Highway 118 in Ventura County claimed the lives of a pedestrian and a motorcyclist.

CHP officers responding to the scene discovered an empty car in the center median and, nearby, a 33-year-old woman from Canoga Park and a 54-year-old man from Simi Valley, both deceased in the roadway.

According to CHP’s initial investigation, the woman crashed her Nissan Altima into the right-side guardrail, causing her vehicle to spin across the westbound lanes until it struck the center median wall.

She exited her car and was standing in the first lane when she was struck by an oncoming motorcyclist. The force of the collision ejected the motorcyclist from his 2020 Triumph Truxton, scattering both victims and the motorcycle across the roadway.

No arrests have been made, and CHP has not yet determined if alcohol or drugs played a role. For approximately four hours, three westbound lanes on Highway 118 near Rocky Peak Road were closed, with traffic rerouted through the right lane.

For information regarding the deceased, CHP encourages contacting the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office at 805-641-4400. Witnesses who haven’t yet shared their accounts are asked to call the CHP Moorpark Area Office at 805-553-0800.
