16-Year-Old Girl Dies of Accident Injuries
A 16-year-old girl died Wednesday from injuries she suffered in a car accident caused when she apparently failed to yield to another motorist, authorities said.
Lauren Michelle Mann, 16, of Lancaster, was struck by a car about 10:50 p.m. Tuesday as she was driving south on 27th Street East, said Deputy Mark Dunkel of the Sheriff’s Department.
Mann apparently failed to yield for a stop sign at Lancaster Boulevard, Dunkel said. She died at 12:03 a.m. Wednesday at Antelope Valley Hospital Medical Center.
The car that hit Mann’s vehicle was driven by Patrick Marriott, 18, of Lancaster, who suffered minor injuries, as did his 17-year-old male passenger. Both were treated at Antelope Valley Hospital Medical Center and released.
