Teen Dies In Crash Near Dixon: CHP

SOLANO COUNTY, CA -- A 16-year-old Winters boy died in a solo-vehicle crash east of Dixon that also injured two of his teenage passengers from West Sacramento on Wednesday night. The Solano County coroner's office identified the boy as Juan Aguirre.

Aguirre was speeding in a 2004 Ford Mustang south on Pedrick Road approaching Dixon Avenue in unincorporated Solano County around 9 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.

Aguirre swerved and lost control of the Ford, which left the west side of Pedrick Road, struck a tree and overturned, CHP officials said.

A 16-year-old boy, who suffered moderate injuries, and a 14-year-old girl, who suffered major injuries, were able to get out of the car and were taken to hospitals. All three occupants were wearing seat belts, according to the CHP.

Aguirre was pronounced dead at the scene. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the crash, CHP officials said.
