Two teenagers from Gualala were killed Monday morning, March 24, when their vehicle veered off Ten Mile Cut Off Road and crashed into a tree, according to a California Highway Patrol press release from the Ukiah office.
The crash occurred around 8:50 a.m. just north of Schooner Gulch Road, CHP said. Orlando Sanchez, 19, was driving a 2016 Toyota northbound when the vehicle left the roadway for unknown reasons and struck a tree.
Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures, but both passengers, a 16-year-old and a 10-year-old, were pronounced dead at the scene, CHP stated. Their identities are being withheld due to their age.
Investigators do not believe alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash, according to CHP. The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office is assisting with the investigation.

Mis oraciónes para la familia. Q Dios les cuida y protega siempre. No hay palabras para sanar esta herrida. Lo siento mucho.
Confusing, article states twice that two teens died, but then says that both passengers died.
Did all 3 pass, or would it be 1 teen and 1 child who passed?
Sad sad sad all the way around, but I read the article three times over to see if I was missing something.
