Two well-known California political figures, Peggy Moore and Hope Wood, tragically passed away in a car accident near Fallbrook on Friday. The crash, which involved a head-on collision between their Jeep Gladiator and a Chrysler 300, also resulted in the deaths of both drivers involved in the incident. A third passenger traveling with Moore and Wood survived the crash, and authorities are currently investigating the cause, including the possibility of alcohol or drugs playing a role.
Both Moore and Wood were active in the California political scene, with Moore being a prominent figure in the state’s political circles and Wood being a partner at their political consulting firm, Hope Action Change. They were known for their work on various political campaigns, including former President Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008, and for their dedication to issues impacting women of color and the LGBTQ+ community.
