The California Highway Patrol said two people were killed Tuesday night in a crash when a driver failed to stop at a stop sign near Wasco.

CHP said officers received reports of a two-vehicle crash after 9:30 p.m. on Kimberlina Road at Magnolia Avenue.

A preliminary investigation found that a 28-year-old man was driving north on Magnolia Avenue, went through a stop sign, and into the path of a Toyota RAV4 traveling west on Kimberlina Road.

The passenger in the Honda was ejected and both the Honda's driver and passenger were declared dead at the scene, said CHP.
