Head-on Collision in Vandenberg Village on Highway 1 Kills One Person; Critically Injures Woman

VANDENBERG VILLAGE, CA (July 29, 2019) – A head-on collision in Vandenberg Village late in the morning on Friday, which involved three vehicles, killed one person and critically injured Brenda Begg. The July 26 incident occurred on Highway 1 close to where it intersects Constellation Road, near Lompoc and to the north of it.

The time was roughly 11:13 a.m.

According to the California Highway Patrol, a vehicle—described as a Toyota Corolla—had been heading south on the highway. The driver went into the highway’s center median in an attempt to pass other cars. As the Toyota went into the median, reports say, it hit another vehicle, which caused the Toyota to spin out.

The Toyota went beyond the center median and into the lane of opposing traffic. The Toyota crashed into another vehicle, described as a Ford Explorer, which had been heading north on the highway.

The force of the crash sent the Toyota off the road surface, and it smashed into the embankment next to the highway. The Toyota then erupted in flames, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the person who had been driving the Toyota was killed. The victim was identified only as a resident of Lompoc, 50 years old. The name and gender of the victim has not been reported.

The person who had been driving the Ford Explorer was identified as Brenda Begg, 55 years old and a resident of Lompoc. She suffered a serious injury to her leg, described as a compound fracture. Responders transported Begg by airlift to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Her current condition is not known.

Reports say that no one was reported hurt in the first vehicle that the Toyota struck. Investigators are continuing their work to understand the events of the incident. If anyone has information, he or she should call the Buellton Area Office of the California Highway Patrol. That number is 805-688-5551.
