Summary
Tragedy struck Highway 9 in the Santa Cruz Mountains when a vehicle plunged off an embankment, claiming the lives of three young men — a 21-year-old driver from Yuba City, a 17-year-old passenger from San José, and a 27-year-old from Salem, Oregon. Emergency crews responded shortly after 9:30 PM, and the road was closed for three hours as authorities investigated. With preliminary findings still pending and victims’ identities not yet released, this heartbreaking crash underscores the peril of mountain driving — especially under less-than-ideal conditions. Our hearts go out to the families left behind. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
