Santa Maria, CA (January 15, 2024) – On December 30, Arnol Hernandez Zuniga and Adrian Rojas-Ramirez died in a crash on Highway 101.

Santa Maria firefighters and California Highway Patrol officers responded to the crash scene on northbound Highway 101 near the North Broadway interchange at 11:30 p.m.
