18-Year-Old Huntington Beach Man Fatally Injured in Crash near Goldenwest Street

WESTMINSTER, CA (August 23, 2018) – A man was killed early Thursday in a rear-end crash on the northbound 405 Freeway. The victim was identified on Monday by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office as 18-year-old Bryan Herrera of Huntington Beach.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision was reported at approximately 12:40 AM, just north of the Goldenwest Street exit.

The victim’s 2017 Honda Accord was in the No. 3 lane at an unknown speed when it failed to slow for construction traffic ahead. For unknown reasons, Herrera rear-ended a 1998 Kenworth big rig, that was traveling at around 5 mph.

He was taken to the Long Beach Memorial Medical Center with major injuries and died soon after. The driver of the truck, a 31-year-old Pomona resident, was uninjured.
