TWNETYNINE PALMS >> A Hemet man and an Ontario woman were killed Saturday in a single-vehicle crash in Twentynine Palms.
Yovonne Marie Navarrette, 49, and David Edgar Garduno, 21, were the victims of the crash, which occurred just after 4 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Indian Trail and Pearl Springs Avenue, according to a San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office news release.
Two other passengers — a woman and a 1-year-old child — were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, the release said.
Navarrette was driving a white 1999 Ford Explorer west on Indian Trail “at a high rate of speed,” the news release said, citing a witness account.
At Pearl Springs Avenue, Navarrette lost control of the vehicle, and it rolled over onto the side of the road. Navarrette and Garduno were both ejected from the SUV.
Navarrette died at the scene, and Garduno was taken to a hospital where he later died.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
