Coroner Identifies 2 Men Killed in Crash
Two men who died in a car wreck on Rose Avenue were identified Wednesday as Rafael Perez Aviles, 23, of Moorpark and Sergio Rosas, 27, of Santa Paula, according to the coroner.
The men died instantly when their car smashed into a tree stump and flipped over in the 6100 block of Rose Avenue near El Rio, authorities said. The pair, who had to be extracted from the badly damaged Nissan Sentra, were pronounced dead at the scene at 7:40 p.m. Tuesday.
Police said Aviles was driving about 75 mph when his car hit a dirt median and spun out of control, hit the stump and landed upside down. Both men were wearing seat belts.
Aviles was an employee of a Vons market in Camarillo, and Rosas worked for a floor-cleaning firm.
