A 22-year-old Riverside woman has been killed and three other people were injured after a Ford Bronco blew a tire and rolled over on the southbound 55, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that Yoeen Sauseda was in the rear passenger seat behind the driver and was not wearing a seatbelt when the vehicle overturned, throwing her into the roadway where she struck a concrete median. She was taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, where she was pronounced dead.
CHP investigators said that it appeared that the Bronco’s right rear tire came apart. The 69-year-old driver, Erasmo Molina of Riverside, swerved to the right, causing the Bronco to overturn and roll several times. Molina and two other passengers – Armando Angeles, 27, and Vanesa Sauseda, 18, both of Riverside – were taken to UCI Medical Center with serious injuries.
