Series of Freeway Accidents in Upland California Injure 6
December 07, 2007

A total of three car accidents, one of them severe, occurred within 30 minutes of each other and within a two-mile distance of each other in Upland and Montclair yesterday.

The first accident was a minor one, but it set off another more severe crash involving a Nissan Maxima. The car broke out in flames and the passengers, a young couple from Rancho Cucamonga California, were rescued by a trio of three cousins, also Rancho Cucamonga residents who smashed the windows of the burning car and dragged the two out to safety. Both the driver and the passenger suffered severe injuries including abrasions and bleeding.

Another car that got involved in the collision had residents of Beaumont, Rialto and Corona and they suffered moderate injuries.

The third crash in the series occurred at Monte Vista Avenue and involved a total of four cars. A 37-year-old Montclair California resident was rushed to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical center after that accident.

Two Salinas California Girls Killed, Two Injured in Monterey Accident
December 06, 2007

Two teenage girls from Salinas, California were killed and two others in the same car were injured when the driver lost control of the 2000 black Jaguar they were in.

17-year-old Romelia Garcia Rico was driving. She was unlicensed. Both she and Karen Aldaco were ejected from their seats when the Jaguar went across an embankment through a fence and across Monterey Road, landing near the sidewalk on its roof. Rico was wearing her seat belt. Aldaco was not.

The other two passengers in the car, 20-year-old Rogelia Ornelas, and a 15-year-old girl were rushed to nearby San Jose hospitals.

California Highway Patrol officials, say they are investigating into the role of drugs and alcohol in the crash. They don't have a lot of information on how fast the car was going, or what caused Rico to lose control of the car.
