Investigators said three male passengers were in a 2021 Can-Am when the driver lost control of the vehicle. As a result, it rolled onto its roof.
“The driver was not injured, however, the front seat passenger, a 15-year-old male, was not wearing his seatbelt and was partially ejected from the vehicle. The 15-year-old passenger suffered major injuries and was transported to Desert Valley Hospital where he was pronounced deceased,” stated a sheriff’s news release.
Officers also said that the rear seat passenger sustained a minor hand injury. The responders took the patient to Desert Valley Hospital for treatment with a minor hand injury.
The family of Mendoza created a GoFundMe account to help with his funeral costs.
“On any given day, Juju could be seen wearing a smile and making others laugh,” stated the account description created by Tamara Robles. “He loved his family and was respectful as they come, never denying a helping hand.
