Santa Monica Man Dies in Car Crash

By Lookout Staff

December 16 -- A Santa Monica resident died Sunday night when his car swerved off a road in Agua Dulce, an unincorporated community just north of Santa Clarita, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The victim was identified by CHP officers as Wallace Kachadoorian.

Kachadoorian, 62, was driving his 1993 Subaru sedan on Darling Road just west of Agua Dulce Canyon when he lost control and hit a mailbox, according to CHP Officer John Lutz.

It has not been determined why the car swerved, but authorities suspect a medical condition may have taken place just before the accident.

Kachadoorian did not have any visible injuries from the accident, Lutz told KHTS-AM radio.

Agua Dulce is the home of Vasquez Rocks California State Park, a popular backdrop for Hollywood films, including The Flintstones movie and the Star Trek episode "Arena."

Named for famous bandit Tiburcio Vasquez, the town of 4,000 is also home of the Agua Dulce Vineyards, the largest winery in Los Angeles County.
