A Gerber man and a 13-year-old male juvenile of Corning both died in a single vehicle crash on Interstate 5 just south of Corning on Feb. 23. Driving under the influence of alcohol is suspected to be a factor in the deadly accident, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Daniel Rodriguez Romero, 24, of Gerber and the juvenile were both killed in the crash that involved a 2001 Toyota Avalon, reported the Tehama County Sheriff's Office.
The CHP Red Bluff office said the incident occurred around 12:21 a.m. on the freeway near Liberal Avenue, however, details of the crash are unavailable as it is still under investigation.
A third person in the Avalon, Alexis Aguilar Jacinto, 18, of Red Bluff reportedly suffered major injuries and was transported to Enloe Medical Center in Chico for treatment. That person's condition has not been released.
The CHP said no one in the vehicle was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.

5 mayors are suspended from duty as authorities expand the crackdown on Turkey's opposition
ISTANBUL -- Turkish authorities suspended five elected mayors from duty Thursday as part of an ongoing crackdown on the country's opposition. Separately, prosecutors launched an investigation into the leader of the opposition Republican People's Party, or CHP, over comments made in a speech Wednesday evening. Ozgur Ozel had criticized Istanbul's chief prosecutor following the jailing of the mayors the previous day as part of a corruption investigation. Officials from municipalities controlled by the CHP have faced waves of arrests this year, including Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, who was detained in March over allegations of corruption. Many consider the cases to be politically motivated although President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government insists the courts are impartial and free of political involvement. Imamoglu is widely viewed as the main challenger to Erdogan's two-decade rule and is the CHP's candidate for a presidential election due in 2028, but which could be held earlier. Istanbul and a clutch of major cities fell to the CHP in 2019, with the opposition extending its control in last year's municipal elections. The five suspended mayors represent the Istanbul districts of Avcilar, Buyukcekmece and Gaziosmanpasa, as well as Seyhan and Ceyhan in the Mediterranean province of Adana. Their suspensions were announced by the Interior Ministry after they were detained over claims of bribery and extortion. A total of 11 mayors, including Imamoglu, have now been removed from office as part of investigations into CHP municipalities. Dozens of other officials have been imprisoned awaiting trial. Imamoglu's jailing led to the largest protests in Turkey for more than a decade, with demonstrators complaining of judicial abuses and wider democratic backsliding under Erdogan. Speaking in Gaziosmanpasa on Wednesday evening, Ozel criticized Istanbul Chief Prosecutor Akin Gurlek, who has been the focus of opposition claims of political interference. This led to Gurlek's office launching an investigation into charges of 'threatening a judicial officer' and 'insulting a public official.'
