Authorities have recently identified most of the teenage victims tragically killed in a horrific car crash in Santa Ana, with a fifth victim currently on life support and declared brain dead. The Santa Ana Police Department responded to the violent crash on April 5th, finding that six individuals were in the car at the time of the accident. The driver, identified as 18-year-old Emannuel Gonzalez Martines, was believed to be speeding before crashing into a tree. Several victims were thrown from the vehicle, which was severely damaged and required firefighters to access it with a ladder. The deceased include the driver, 20-year-old Aurelia Robles, Natalia Vidal Zarate (17), and Jaqueline Torres Zarate (16). The sixth person's identity has not been disclosed. The lone survivor, 15-year-old Arlene Robles, Aurelia's sister, is in critical condition and will undergo surgery for her injuries. The group of friends was reportedly from Valley High and Carr Intermediate schools. While initial suspicions of alcohol or drug involvement have not been confirmed, authorities continue to investigate the crash.
