Terrible tragedy! My heart goes out to the family. Only good is that the 20 year old truck driver had wits and courage to rescue the one man from the burning vehicle. Also a bystander courageously stepped up to help…
Thank you for your mindful post.
To Kym- it refers to Guadalupe as Mr.
That’s the CHP’s boo boo.
“Guadalupe” is a gender-neutral name.
Yes and he is a male
Thank you! I did not know that. The people named Guadalupe that I’ve known have all been female.
Guadalupe is 90 percent a name used by women, but men are also named Guadalupe. I’ve known 3 male Guadalupe’s in my life. They are also called Lupe.
He is a Mister.
What the hell is wrong with you? As HIS niece HE IS A MR! mind your own dumb buisness if you have common sense to give
My condolences to the young man’s family. What an awful thing.
Thats a bad intersection ever since the traffic from the casino began. Very sad for the victims.
Ummm no had nothing to do with roads drugs and alcohol was a factor
Where’s your proof that either driver was under the influence? Because last I checked, the driver of the semi was cleared, and willfully submitted to a blood alcohol test AND passed, and the driver who was 16 couldn’t have been drinking.
65 years old is pretty bad for getting major burns. I hope the best for them.
? Absolutely heartbreaking tragedy. ??? Heartfelt prayers going up for all involved in this terrible accident. May you ALL be comforted in the arms of Christ Jesus.
