Los Angeles County, California (Pomona, CA) – On March 2, 2024, three women died following a DUI car incident at the intersection of South White Avenue and Phillips Boulevard in Pomona, CA.
A Pomona man was detained for allegedly driving under the influence, smashing into another vehicle, and killing three ladies. Victor Siharath was detained late Saturday night after the two vehicles collided at 11 p.m. Aly Mejia, a spokesman for the Pomona Police Department, said Siharath had a past DUI conviction. According to authorities, everyone involved in the crash was “moderately to severely injured,” and were treated by Los Angeles County Fire Department officials.
Police said that two people died on the spot. Three more were sent to a local hospital, where another woman died. The victims were identified as Lorena Morales, 58-year-old, of Montclair; Alejandra Olaez, 33-year-old, of Pomona; and Yesenia Ochoa, 33-year-old, of Pomona. According to KABC-TV, Morales drove while her husband, Juan Manuel “Jaime” Garcia, sat in the front seat. Olaez’s 12-year-old daughter was in the rear seat. The group was allegedly on its way home from a baby shower.
Siharath, the only occupant of the second car involved in the incident, was detained on charges of felony DUI when investigators found he was intoxicated. The Pomona Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team is investigating the crash. Anyone with information is requested to contact the department’s Traffic Services Bureau at 909-620-2048.
