A man from Pomona is dead following a serious crash on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar, according to local sources. The California Highway Patrol has confirmed the death of a 24-year-old man and the injury of a second person. They have also arrested the other driver involved in the crash under suspicion of a hit-and-run crash. The deceased man's name has not been released, pending notification of next of kin. 

According to the report, a vehicle driven by the 24-year-old man and carrying a 21-year-old female passenger was disabled in the No. 4 and 5 lanes as a result of a previous collision when the second accident occurred. It appears an SUV driven by a 30-year-old man approached at a high rate of speed in the No. 4 lane and was unable to avoid the collision. His vehicle struck the stopped car as well as the driver, who was in the process of getting out of the vehicle. 

Five teenagers from out of state are recovering from a serious accident in Anaheim, according to local sources.

Two of the injured teenagers suffered a brain injury that could have long-term consequences for their health. 

According to the police report, the five Utah teens were all riding in the same vehicle when it was struck by the 24-year-old's vehicle in an intersection. It appears the older driver ran a red light, forcing both vehicles into a utility pole and causing extensive damage. An 18-year-old woman was rushed to a hospital with brain injuries and multiple fractures, while another male passenger also suffered brain bleeding. A third male passenger was placed in a medically-induced coma after serious internal bleeding and fractures. The other two teens are listed as being in stable condition, as is the driver believed responsible.
