A Toyota Tacoma, traveling westbound on Mountain View Avenue west of Peach Avenue, struck the go-kart from behind shortly after midnight on Thursday morning, the California Highway Patrol said. The go-kart was also heading westbound but was not street legal as it lacked lights and reflectors and was low to the ground, the CHP report stated.

Owen was pronounced dead at the crash site.
