On June 3, 2016 at approximately 2030 hours, an unlicensed 15-year old male was driving a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee on Sr-267 northbound, north of Northstar. For a reason still under investigation, the driver of the Jeep made an unsafe turning movement causing the vehicle to drive off the east road edge and overturn an unknown number of times coming to rest in the dirt and grass field along the eastern side of the road. 
​As a result of the collision three occupants of the vehicle became trapped within the vehicle. One occupant was able to exit

the vehicle where he was able to exit the vehicle where he was contacted by passerby and later transported by North Tahoe Fire Ambulance to Renown Medical Center for his injuries.
Upon emergency personnel arrival, the California Highway Patrol, Truckee Fire, Northstar Fire and North Lake Tahoe Fire were able to extricate the  trapped occupants. Two of the passengers were flown to Renown medical Center by Care Flight for major injuries. One of the  passengers later succumbed to their injuries, the other remains in intensive care. AS a result of the collision, the driver sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced at the scene.
Alcohol or drugs are not suspected to be a factor in this collision.
