I'm 99% certain this is a FiST. RIP to the party who passed away. Hopefully the injured parties fully recover. For those not familiar with this area people hoon on this road all the time so it gets a lot of focus by the Forest Service and CHP. It's not even wide enough for a centerline. No guardrails, only some old short rock walls to keep you from going over the side. There are a couple exceptions where k-rail has been placed in spots where people have gone over the side repeatedly and died. But there's only so much money and time that can be devoted to patrolling this secluded road so someone goes over the side roughly every 6 months if not less. My opinion: generally speaking the FiST is more car than an 18-year old should be driving.

An 18-year-old Montebello man died and two others teens were hurt when a car plummeted more than 500 feet over the side of Glendora Ridge Road in the Angeles National Forest southwest of Mount Baldy, officials discovered Sunday.
The crash was discovered about 10 a.m. between mile markers 8 and 10 of the winding mountain road, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Peter Nicholson. But the victims may have been stranded at the crash scene for nearly a day, as the crash was believed to have taken place at an unknown time of day Saturday.
