According to KRON4, the victims were 36-year-old Brylyn Aroma from Fort Riley, Kansas, 29-year-old Mohammad Noory from South San Francisco, and 28-year-old Angelica Gacho, also from South San Francisco.

The accident occurred on Friday morning when their vehicle veered off a cliff over the embankment, plummeting approximately 300 to 400 feet. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that the incident took place on the southbound lanes of Highway 1, just south of the Tom Lantos Tunnel.

Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. Details on the cause of the vehicle’s sudden departure from the road are still unclear. Investigators are working to determine whether any external factors, such as road conditions, mechanical failure, or driver error, contributed to the tragic accident.

Brylyn Aroma, one of the victims, hailed from Fort Riley, Kansas. Mohammad Noory and Angelica Gacho, the other two victims, were residents of South San Francisco. The news of their untimely deaths has left their families and communities in mourning.

The CHP and other involved agencies are continuing to gather evidence and statements from potential witnesses to piece together the events that led to this devastating incident. The steep and rugged terrain of Devil’s Slide, notorious for its dangerous conditions, poses significant challenges for rescue and recovery operations, further complicating the investigation process.

As the investigation continues, authorities urge anyone with additional information about the incident to come forward. The CHP emphasizes the importance of community assistance in uncovering all relevant details that could provide a clearer picture of what transpired.

The tragic loss of Brylyn Aroma, Mohammad Noory, and Angelica Gacho serves as a somber reminder of the potential dangers that can arise on winding and treacherous roadways like those found at Devil’s Slide.
