18-year-old dead in car crash in Huntington Beach

An 18-year-old man died after the sedan he was driving rolled onto a sidewalk and struck a tree in the area of ​​Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach early Friday, the morning after Halloween.

The accident occurred on westbound Warner Avenue near Remington Lane, Huntington Beach police said in a news release. Officers responded around 5 a.m. and found a wrecked 2010 Toyota Camry.

The young man behind the wheel was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. He was later identified at Nigel Bryden Greenland in Moreno Valley, Orange County coroner's officials said.

The day after the collision, candles stood near broken glass, spilled motor oil and orange paint at the accident scene on Warner Street. Fresh cellophane-wrapped marigolds depicting sugar skulls, traditionally given to children on Día de Los Muertos, hung from a tattered chain-link fence with a hole leading to a splintered tree.

Candles and flowers stand next to broken glass and a splintered tree at the scene of an accident that killed an 18-year-old in Huntington Beach on Friday morning.
