SAN CLEMENTE : 3 Youths Killed in Car Crash Identified

Police have identified the three youths who were killed and two others who were injured after a speeding late-model sports car flipped over and crashed.

Marco D. Martinez, 17, his brother David D. Martinez, 16, and Abel Aguilar Jr., 18, of San Clemente were killed Saturday when the blue four-door Jaguar sedan they were riding in flipped over on a dirt shoulder in the hills about five miles east of Interstate 5.

Two others, Arthur A. Felix, 17, of San Juan Capistrano, and Thomas Sheehan, 18, of San Clemente, were in satisfactory condition at Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center in Mission Viejo.

Two of the dead were ejected from the Jaguar. The third was found inside the car, San Clemente police said.

Felix, who police believe was driving the car, suffered a concussion and cannot remember the 12:18 p.m. crash, according to officials at Mission Hospital.

Police said security guards patrolling a grading site in the area told them that they saw the Jaguar traveling at high speed along a straight stretch of road, when it suddenly lost control and flipped over on a dirt shoulder.

Police believe that all five youths gathered each Saturday morning for a pickup basketball game and may have known each other only by their first names, except the brothers.

No evidence of alcohol or drug use was found at the crash site.

Police still wouldn’t say who the owner of the Jaguar is.
