A 17-year-old student from Warren High School in Downey is dead and two others have major injuries after crashing down an embankment off the 5 Freeway over the weekend.
The crash happened Saturday night north of the 605 Freeway when a 2010 Nissan Altima veered to the right, collided into a raised asphalt curb, struck a light pole and then rolled over several times down a dirt embankment, according to a press release from the California Highway Patrol.One of those passengers was identified as Carson resident Jaylon Connish, a student at Warren High School. All three were taken to St. Francis Medical Center, but Connish did not survive.
Details on the conditions of the driver, 17-year-old Dajon Hancox, and the other unidentified passenger were not released. "Our Downey Unified family is heartbroken that we have lost one of our Warren High School students, a young man with a bright future ahead of him who has been such a big part of our Downey Unified family. Our prayers are with our two students who are currently fighting and, as a Downey Unified family, we will rally around them and their families to support them during this extremely challenging time," a spokesperson for the Downey Unified School District said in a statement.
School officials said mental health support staff would be on campus Monday to talk to any students who need it.
