Los Angeles County Medical Examiner officials have identified the man killed in Friday’s collision between a garbage truck and a gold Honda Accord.

Alberto Hernandez, 21, of Santa Clarita, died of blunt force trauma when the car he was driving collided with a garbage truck around 8 a.m. at 17909 Galeton Road in Canyon Country, near Soledad Canyon Road.

Detectives from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s traffic unit were not immediately available Monday morning to answer questions about the circumstances of the accident.

There was no indication as to whether any arrests were made.

A second person, whose identity was not disclosed, was also treated for injuries, according to fire officials. The person’s condition was not immediately known.

Friday’s death is at least the seventh fatality on Santa Clarita Valley roads in the past two weeks, and the deaths are attributed to a number of different causes.

Jack Kidd, 60, of Canyon Country, was found dead July 28 in his white Dodge Ram pickup truck that had driven down a mountainside on Little Tujunga Canyon Road near mile marker 5.24.

On August 1, 43-year-old Jesus Castorena was killed when his RAZR, carrying a 13-year-old boy, a 19-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman, plunged down a nearly 150-meter-high embankment. Members of the search and rescue team described the survival of the other three as “lucky.”

That same night, 42-year-old Jason Viger was killed in a car accident on Valencia Boulevard near downtown Valencia.

Ceyontay Bell, 24, Isaac Maestas, 22, and Jordan Phillips, 23, all of Bakersfield, were killed Aug. 5 when the 2001 Toyota Avalon they were riding in crashed south of Templin Highway around 4:30 p.m.

The City of Santa Clarita will host its annual memorial service later this month to remember those whose lives were prematurely lost in fatal traffic accidents.

The Youth Grove, where the memorial is located, consists of 119 pillars in the shape of sawn-off tree stumps. They represent those who died in accidents at a young age. On each pillar there is a plaque with the name of the young person.
