Local Teens Killed in Crash Identified
Two Valley teenagers killed in a weekend car accident were identified Monday.
Maria Kahudadjan, 16, of Glendale, and Vage Dakorya, 17, of Panorama City, died in the Sunday afternoon accident, said Adelaida De La Cerda, spokeswoman at County/USC Medical Center.
A third passenger in the vehicle, an unidentified 15-year-old Hollywood girl, remained in critical condition Monday. She is being treated for internal injuries at County/USC Medical Center, De La Cerda said.
The accident occurred when a compact car careened out of control and crashed into a tree along the Colorado Boulevard extension to the northbound Golden State Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The car was driven by a 17-year-old boy from Los Angeles, who was also not identified. He was treated for fractured ribs at Glendale Memorial Hospital and released, a hospital spokeswoman said.
An investigation is continuing by the Altadena office of the CHP.
