Fresno County Hit-and-Run Accident Kills Fowler Boy

Posted on by

Investigations have revealed that 24-year old Ramon Ayala of Orange Cove might be the driver who fatally injured 12-year old Sage Corpus in a hit-and-run accident.  Sage died on April 9 in Fresno County.  Police believe that Ramon has a history of dangerous driving and he does not have a driving license.  According to Officer Guillermo Garza, Ramon was arrested three weeks before the accident that killed young Corpus for driving on the wrong side and was also found to be under the influence of alcohol.   The arrest resulted in Ramon’s driver’s license being revoked.

The accident happened when a pickup truck crashed into a group of kids walking along South Avenue in Fresno County.  The truck driver ran away from the scene leaving the truck behind.  This accident left Sage dead and another 13-year old boy with non life-threatening injuries.

Attempts to arrest Ramon were futile as he moved out of his house a day after the crash.  Authorities are searching his possible hideouts in Fresno and Tulare Counties.

Our office offers our heartfelt condolences and prayers to Sage’s family and friends, as well as the family and friends of the other little boy who was injured by the truck driver. We hope that Ramon, or whoever is the guilty person, is soon brought to justice. Drivers need to be very careful while driving around residential and other populated areas like shopping complexes and schools to avoid injuring or even killing pedestrians and children.

Posted on by

A Penn High School freshman lost his life in a fatal Needles auto accident that happened on March 28, 2010 along US 95, somewhere north of Needles. The car accident took place at around 5 p.m.

The deceased, Nathan Douglas White, was on his way to Lake Havasu City along with his grandmother when a 20-year old man crossed the yellow lines of the highway and crashed into their rental car. Nathan was transported to University Medical Center in Las Vegas for surgery, where he succumbed to his injuries the same night. Nathan’s grandmother was also taken to a hospital and has now recovered.

Our office wishes to offer our heartfelt prayers and condolences to Nathan’s friends and family. We can understand how his grandparents must be feeling. Young drivers seem to be at times rather reckless while driving. But they have to realize that their one small mistake can cost someone their life!  If you are driving on an undivided road or highway, please make sure that your vehicle stays on its’ lanes of traffic.

Los Angeles DUI Auto Accident Kills Teenage Girl

Posted on by

A 13-year old Malibu teenager lost her life in a fatal Los Angeles County child injury accident that occurred on April 3, 2010 on Pacific Coast Highway. The accident happened at around 5 p.m. when the girl was walking back home.

The victim, Emily Rose Shane, was on her way back home after attending school at Malibu High when she was hit by a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. It is believed that she was deliberately hit by the 26-year-old driver, Sina Khankhanian. Khankhanian claimed to be drunk while driving.  However, that was found to be baseless. The police are also looking out for a 20-something Asian man who was seen clicking pictures of the accident.

Our office offers our heartfelt condolences and prayers to Shane’s family and friends. We hope that the mystery surrounding the teen’s death is cleared up and the guilty person is soon brought to justice. Drivers need to be very careful while driving around areas that are populated, like shopping complexes and schools.  It is particularly disturbing that the driver in this accident may have been intentionally trying to strike a pedestrian with his vehicle.  Motor vehicles are potentially dangerous weapons and should be treated as such by motorists.  They are not merely a mode of transportation.

Posted on by

A 7-year old Gerber boy tragically lost his life in a Tehama car accident that took place on Truckee Avenue, east of Interstate 5, around 7 p.m. on March 15, 2010.

The deceased, Mario Gonzalez, was run over by a trailer that was being towed by his father. Reportedly, he crawled out of the truck cab’s sliding window, fell down, and was crushed beneath the trailer as his father moved forward. The child was declared dead on arrival at St. Elizabeth Hospital.

Our office wishes to offer our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the family of the young boy. It must be very traumatic for them, and more so for the father. Driving with a child on board should be taken very seriously and constant attention must be paid to the child.

Hayward Boy Killed in Parking Lot Accident

Posted on by

A 4-year old boy lost his life in a Hayward SUV accident that took place on March 26, 2010. The fatal accident happened around 3:15 p.m.

The child was playing in the parking lot of an apartment complex where he lived when he was hit by a sport utility vehicle. The driver of the car is cooperating completely with the police in their investigation.

Our office wishes to offer sincere prayers and condolences to the family of the little boy. We can understand how heart wrenching it must be for them to lose their child, so young. The parking lot accident is truly tragic.  It is unclear from the source story why this fatal accident occurred.  For one thing, it is unclear what supervision, if any, the child had in the parking lot and why he was playing there.  Did the SUV driver have any warning that the little boy was playing in the parking lot?
