A fundraiser has been created to help pay for funeral expenses for 18-year-old Ana Arreola of Quail Valley. The high school senior was killed in a two-vehicle accident that occurred on Railroad Canyon Road near Church Street shortly before 10 a.m. on Saturday.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said the preliminary investigation indicates that Arreola was driving westbound on Railroad Canyon Road when she crossed over the median and was struck by a vehicle traveling eastbound. Deputies found Arreola unresponsive and provided medical aid until CalFire arrived on the scene.
Arreola was extricated from the vehicle and pronounced deceased at the scene at 10:20 a.m. The driver of the second vehicle was transported to a local hospital with moderate injuries, Sergeant Brad Foster said.
The cause of the collision is still under investigation. Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the collision.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Deputy Hadeen of the Lake Elsinore Sheriffs Station at 951-245-3300.
