Matilda Garnica, 43, was killed and her two children were injured in a Los Angeles car accident after a car plowed through a group of spectators who had gathered to watch a fireworks show the night of July 4, 2010. According to a news report in The Signal, a white Infiniti was traveling east on Valencia Boulevard. The driver, a 22-year-old woman, ran a red light at Mall Entrance and crashed into a Dodge Durango SUV that was making a left turn. The impact from the collision caused the Infiniti to crash into a group of people, who were sitting on the south curb of Valencia and watching the fireworks. Garnica was killed instantly and at least seven others, including two of her children, were injured. Her 13-year-old son was critically injured.

I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Matilda Garnica for their tragic and heartbreaking loss. I sincerely hope that her two children and the other injured victims recover quickly and completely. I particularly pray for the two children who saw their mother struck and killed. Please keep this grieving family in your thoughts and prayers.

According to a San Diego 6 news report, the injury collision occurred on a two-lane road northeast of Alpine near the Viejas Casino.
