Katha Penny, 60, Injured in Santa Ynez Fatal Crash on Highway 154

SANTA YNEZ, CA (October 9, 2022) – A fatal crash on Highway 154 left Katha Penny injured in the Santa Ynez Valley.

The California Highway Patrol identified the 60-year-old Oxnard woman as one of the victims in the accident which occurred on Sunday.

The incident happened when Katha Penny was driving a BMW X5 west on Highway 154 near Meadowvale Road in the Santa Ynez Valley. At the same time, a Ford CMAX was going east.

CHP said the Ford then swerved into the opposing lane to avoid stopped traffic in front. In the process, the car struck the BMW head-on.

Multiple Cars Collide

The Noozhawk News and KSBY News wrote that the BMW rolled over as a result of the collision. The Ford continued and slammed into a Toyota Highlander traveling east.

The wreck took place at about 10:25 a.m. more than a mile north of the Highway 246 roundabout. Katha Penny sustained minor injuries following the crash.

Paramedics arrived and provided treatment to the patient at the site. The report added that the driver of the Ford died at the scene of the incident.

The three people riding the Toyota survived the accident with moderate injuries. Meanwhile, officers forced Highway 154 to shut down in both directions after the collision.

The cause of the Santa Ynez crash is still under investigation. Anyone with information can call the CHP’s Buellton office at 805.688.5551.
