No details have been released by the L A County sheriff’s office on what led up to the fatal crash … on Pacific Coast Highway at the eastern end of Malibu.

Dulce … the Spanish word for candy.

She was the third person killed in traffic crashes inside Malibu this year.

The 17 year old was described as a a beloved daughter, student and friend who’s smile lit up the room the second she stepped foot inside it.
