An Aptos teen who crashed a van filled with young adults on San Miguel Canyon Road on Friday night, killing a 21-year-old passenger, has been identified by the California Highway Patrol as Erica Shanice Duran.

The passenger who died was Joshua W. Perez of Salinas, CHP Sgt. Wayne DiSalvo said.

Duran, 19, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter, DiSalvo said.

She had six passengers in the 1993 Honda van when she crashed at about 9:35 p.m. east of Corto San Miguel Road, not far from Hall Road, the CHP said.

A witness driving behind the van told officers she was traveling at a high rate of speed when she tried to pass another vehicle by crossing over double-yellow lines, lost control and struck a tree, DiSalvo said.

“It’s just tragic that they were not taking driving under the influence seriously,” he said. “And at high speed over double-yellow lines, especially on San Miguel Canyon, that’s just a recipe for death.” Two of the passengers were sitting on people’s laps, DiSalvo said.

And though Friday three people were listed as having major injuries, including the driver, by Monday all but one had been reclassified as having minor or moderate ones, he said.

A 24-year-old Watsonville woman remains in critical condition at a regional trauma center, DiSalvo said.

Also in the van were two teen girls from Watsonville, ages 17 and 19, and two men from Salinas, one of them Perez, ages 19 and 24.
