LOS ANGELES, Calif. — It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the tragic passing of Jai’Sean Aubrey, a 14-year-old from Los Angeles whose bright future was heartbreakingly cut short following a solo vehicle crash on Highway 99 in Kern County early Tuesday morning, September 30, 2025.
According to California Highway Patrol officials, the fatal accident occurred around 3:18 a.m. when the Hyundai Jai’Sean was riding in veered off the northbound lanes of Highway 99, just north of Panama Lane. The vehicle struck a fence and two trees before coming to rest — a devastating impact that claimed the young teen’s life. Despite the immediate response of emergency crews, Jai’Sean was pronounced deceased at the scene.
