The traffic collision on Trona Wildrose Road on Sunday left two Ridgecrest residents - Natasha Sanchez, 25, and a six-year-old minor - dead, according to California Highway Patrol Bishop. A six-month-old baby suffered minor injuries and was transported to Ridgecrest Regional Hospital for treatment.
CHP reported that at around 6 p.m. a call was received of a car crash on Trona Wildhorse Road just north of Quarry Road.
Sanchez lost control of the vehicle at a high rate of speed, for unknown reasons, and to regain control she over-corrected and caused the car to overturn several times.
She and the six-year-old boy were ejected from the vehicle, causing fatal injuries.
CHP is still investigating the cause of the collision.
