CHP Report Still Underway for Fatal Golden Valley Collision

It was too early to tell whether charges would be filed against the driver because the case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney’s Office, officials said.
California Highway Patrol officers are investigating a fatal crash that killed a 17-year-old female jogger on Golden Valley Road on Monday night, officials said. “A jogger was heading westbound, near Golden Valley Road and Samantha Court, and she was struck by a vehicle traveling southbound on Golden Valley Road,” said Officer John Lutz of the California Highway Patrol. A boy was driving a 1989 Toyota Celica. The victim is reportedly a Saugus High student. A Tweet sent out by by Saugus High ASB Twitter account sent condolences to the family and friends of Jennifer Stift. Stift was a Saugus High senior who was listed on the swim team’s roster for the 2013-14 school year. No arrests have been made in the incident at this time. Both the victim and the driver were 17 years old, according to CHP officials. The name of the driver was not released. Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor in the crash, Lutz said, although he added that the investigation was ongoing. The name of the victim has not been released at this time. A resident in the area told SCVTV, “There is continuous speeding and racing on that stretch (of road). It’s out of control.”
