An allegedly driving in Pomona last week and causing the wrong collision was killed in Pomona, officials said.
NBC Los Angeles has learned that 24-year-old Rick Rodriguez also passed away after the crash on Saturday.
Law enforcement initially identified Rodriguez as a driver and said a Pomona resident was taken to Pomona Valley Hospital with minor injuries and was later arrested for allegedly driving under the influence.
The incident happened just after 11pm on Saturday, when a car driven by Rodriguez was moving east in the westbound lanes of Pomona’s 60 Highway, according to the California Highway Patrol. Preliminary findings showed that Rodriguez hit a Honda Civic near Reservoir Street.
Three people inside the Honda vehicle, a one-year-old child, a mother and another woman have all died.
The family identified the victims as one-year-old Ezra Aziel Espinoza, 29-year-old Jazmin Guadalupe Ramos, and 39-year-old Raquel Moreno.
Both women died at the scene and the juvenile was rushed to Children’s Hospital in Orange County.
He was taken from life support after showing no signs of life Tuesday, relatives confirmed.
