[Update: 9:55 p.m.] Philip Thomas Torres II, a 34-year-old male from Oxnard, was arrested and booked on a charge of vehicular manslaughter at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station today following a fatal collision on Pacific Coast Highway at Corral Canyon Road at 6:22 a.m., according to the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station. Torres was driving a full-size GMC pickup truck that hit a parked Honda Civic, killing the unidentified adult male sitting in the driver’s seat. 

The female passenger in the Civic sustained moderate, non-life threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance.

Torres’ truck then flipped and slid into a second parked vehicle with an adult male and minor female, neither of who sustained injuries. 

Torres was the only person involved in the collision who was arrested. “Just the one,” Sgt. Hill of the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station said. “Everyone else involved was in parked vehicles.”

[Update: 12:50 p.m.] As of 12 p.m., all lanes of Pacific Coast Highway at Corral Canyon Road were reopened following a fatal collision reported at 6:22 a.m. Saturday morning.

At 6:22 a.m. this morning, emergency responders from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station and the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to a collision at Corral Canyon Road and Pacific Coast Highway, according Deputy Rod Loughridge of the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station. 

When deputies arrived at the scene, they found a full-size GMC pickup truck turned over, according to an alert sent out from the station. The truck was traveling eastbound on PCH and hit a parked Honda Civic, killing the male in the Civic’s driver’s seat and causing unknown injuries to an adult female who was transported a hospital in an ambulance.

The pick-up then flipped over and slid into another parked vehicle, a GMC Sierra pickup. A male adult was in the driver’s seat and a minor female was in the passenger’s seat; neither sustained any injuries.

The driver of the full-size GMC pickup sustained minor injuries, according to the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station.

Following the collision, both eastbound lanes were shut down, but as of 11 a.m., “westbound lanes are open and one eastbound lane is open,” according to Deputy Loughridge. “Only one lane is shut, so there is traffic that can go back east.”

The investigation will continue, but there is no suspicion of the involvement of alcohol at this time.”Not at this time,” Deputy Loughridge said. “They’re still conducting the investigation.”
