Pomona, California – In the early hours of Wednesday, a tragic accident on Pomona’s Interstate 10 had a devastating outcome: a mother lost her life, and her two children sustained severe injuries.
At approximately 12:30 a.m., the California Highway Patrol responded to a collision on Interstate 10, just east of Fairplex Drive. Upon arrival, officers encountered multiple injured individuals and an emergency situation. Inside a Kia Forte vehicle was a 30-year-old woman from West Covina and her two children, a 6-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl.
Sadly, the woman was pronounced deceased at the accident scene. Her Kia Forte had collided with a semi-truck in the adjacent lane while traveling westbound on Interstate 10. The impact was so forceful that the Kia overturned and ended up upside down in the middle of the road.
Following the accident, the 6-year-old boy was urgently transported to Children’s Hospital Orange County due to the severe injuries he sustained in the collision. On the other hand, the 7-year-old girl was taken to Pomona Valley Hospital with less severe injuries. The collision had a devastating impact on this family’s life.
As of now, the reasons behind this tragic multiple-car crash in Pomona remain unknown. The Kia Forte, carrying the mother and her children, violently collided with the semi-truck, resulting in the vehicle overturning. The Kia’s position on the roadway blocked traffic, leading another vehicle, a Toyota Camry, to collide with it.
The Kia was completely mangled, scattering pieces and debris across the highway. The driver of the Toyota Camry suffered minor injuries but did not require immediate medical attention, according to authorities.
This tragic accident on Interstate 10 in Pomona has left a shattered family and a mother who lost her life under circumstances still unknown.
