RIP SERA AINTABLIAN (January 20, 2002 – March 24, 2022)

The decedent was a UCLA student. She was killed in a crash on the 101 Freeway in North Hollywood. Her car was split in half.

It happened early morning on a Thursday.

The crash occurred on the eastbound 101 Freeway, where it turns into the southbound 101 Freeway, at the Tujunga Avenue offramp at about 2 a.m.

According to California Highway Patrol, Aintablian was the sole occupant of the car as she was driving on the eastbound 101 Freeway, headed towards the 134 Freeway, when she suddenly swerved back towards the lanes of the 101.

She lost control and struck a guardrail. Half the car was left on the freeway, the other half ended up off the freeway. The force ejected her from the vehicle, and she died at the scene.

A second car that was traveling by at the time ended up being hit as well. The two occupants of the second car were rushed to a hospital with moderate injuries.

The victim’s boyfriend had been on the phone with her shortly before the wreck. He was worried, so he drove to the area and arrived at the crash scene.
