LOS ANGELES — A 29-year-old student cinematographer was killed Friday when an off-road vehicle carrying a group of young filmmakers rolled over in Imperial Valley, authorities said.
The group, which included the Chapman University cinematographer and three University of Southern California film students, were taking pictures on a large sand dune in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, a California Highway patrol spokesman confirmed Monday.
Officer Arturo Platero said the students’ off road vehicle had climbed the dune to the crest when it either rolled back, or went over the crest and rolled over.
