HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT KILLS 2
Two Burbank youths were killed Sunday night, November 7, 1977 in a high-speed traffic accident on a winding stretch of Angeles Forest Highway above La Crescenta, authorities said.
According to a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol, the youths were traveling southbound, about two miles north of Angeles Crest Highway, when the accident occurred about 11:30 p.m.
The two were identified as James Michael Linkletter, 17, of 621 Irving Drive, and his passenger, William Inhelder IV, 16, of 620 Jamestown Road. Authorities said the car was traveling at a high rate of speed when Linkletter lost control, causing the car to strike the mountainside and overturn in the roadway.
The driver was ejected while Inhelder was pinned beneath the car when it came to rest upside down in the northbound lanes, officers said.
