101 accident victims named

Authorities released the names of two people who died in a crash involving a parked large truck on southbound Highway 101 in Newbury Park last week.

Serenity Rizkalla, 19, was from Pico Rivera, the Ventura County coroner’s office reported. Los Angeles resident Michael Estrella was 20 years old.

Both were passengers in a 2016 Honda Civic driven by a 19-year-old Pico Rivera man who survived the crash. Another passenger, a 20-year-old Castaic man, also survived.

Shortly before 5:30 a.m. Thursday, the Honda, which had been traveling at a high rate of speed, failed to negotiate the southbound Wendy Drive exit ramp, California Highway Patrol officials said. The car continued onto the right shoulder where it struck a parked semi-trailer and then struck a large boulder. The Honda overturned and landed on its roof.
