An Ontario resident was killed and six others were hospitalized Thursday morning, Nov. 11, in a collision on the 215 Freeway in Riverside.
Witnesses reported that a Toyota Sienna cut off a truck in the southbound lanes near Box Springs Road, causing the truck to spin out and sending the Sienna into a guardrail just after 7 a.m., said Officer Juan Quintero, a California Highway Patrol spokesman.
Lorena Negrete, 34, died at the scene, the Riverside County Coroner’s Office said.
All seven victims were in the same vehicle, Riverside Fire Department Battalion Chief Bruce Vanderhorst said. Some had to be cut out of the vehicle. Quintero said that among the injured, two children had what were described as minor to moderate injuries.
The freeway was closed in the area during the rescue until just after 11 a.m., Quintero said.
