SANTA BARBARA — The two occupants of a 1997 Mercedes S500 were pronounced deceased at the scene of a crash that occurred on the southbound Highway 101 Garden Street onramp Wednesday evening.
The car was traveling southbound on Highway 101, exited at Garden Street at an undetermined speed and crossed the intersection. The vehicle entered the southbound onramp and crashed into a concrete wall.
