Crash in Riverside Kills One Person; Disrupts Electrical Power
RIVERSIDE, CA (December 24, 2018) – A collision on Sunday afternoon in Riverside killed one person, severely injured another, and disrupted electrical power. The December 23 crash occurred where Chicago Avenue and Linden Street intersect.

Reports say that a Hyundai Accent—which was driven by a resident of Carson, 20 years old—had been heading north on Chicago Avenue, and traveling at a fast speed. The Hyundai’s driver, reports say, did not stop at a red light on Linden Street.
The Hyundai collided with a Honda Civic. The Hyundai then crashed into a palm tree. A person who had been traveling as a passenger in the Hyundai died at the accident scene. The name, age, and city of residence of the deceased victim has not yet been reported.
