Three people died in a crash early Saturday, November 7, 2026, on the westbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway in West Covina. Around 4:10 a.m., California Highway Patrol officers allegedly tried to stop a red 2011 Toyota Corolla west of Holt Avenue, and the driver did not stop. The car left the freeway at Francisquito Avenue and crashed on the off-ramp, according to the CHP. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, and two passengers later died at hospitals.
MyNewsLA reported that the CHP said the driver failed to safely negotiate a curve on the off-ramp and hit a concrete wall. A fourth occupant was taken to a hospital with major injuries, and that person’s condition had not been updated. MyNewsLA also described the driver as a DUI suspect, but it gave no details on sobriety testing, so that claim is unconfirmed. The CHP is leading the investigation, and the identities of those killed are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
