Santa Clarita, CA (August 10, 2024) – A man was killed on Friday, August 9, in a collision involving a car and a trash truck in the Canyon Country area, east of Santa Clarita. Paramedics were sent to the 17900 block of Soledad Canyon Road, north of the Santa Clara River, about 8:00 a.m. Friday, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Per investigators, firefighters used “Jaws of Life” cutters to extricate the trapped driver. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

It’s also unclear how that person may have been involved or if anybody else was hurt in the incident.
