Two young adults killed helping drivers in collision on I-80 in Roseville Saturday

Two young adults were killed by a driver on westbound I-80 near the Roseville Parkway overcrossing about 12:20 a.m. Saturday. The couple, 19-year-old Diana Filinyuk from Rancho Cordova, and 21-year-old Michael Olifir from Antelope, witnessed a collision between a Honda Accord and a Nissan Altima while driving on Interstate 80, said California Highway Patrol public information officer David Martinez. The couple pulled up in front of the two crashed cars and got out to check on the drivers, according to Martinez. When the couple walked back to their car after checking on the drivers, 45-year-old Brandy Kincaid driving a 2017 Jeep Commander saw the crash and swerved left into the center divide where the couple were walking to avoid the crash, Martinez said. The couple was hit by the Jeep Commander, according to Martinez, and both died on the scene. The woman driving the Jeep was not drunk and she was not arrested because the hit was an accident, Martinez said. The Honda Accord driver in the two-vehicle collision that the couple stopped to check on was arrested for driving under the influence, according to Martinez. Neither driver in the two-vehicle collision was injured. The accident involving the Jeep Commander is still under investigation by CHP. Officers are still obtaining statements and conducting vehicle inspections, Martinez said.
