Police reported that the girls were riding in a Honda Accord with their parents, 25-year-old Marky Flores and 24-year-old Valencia Avilez. As the family turned left onto Walnut, a Dodge Ram pickup truck driven by 28-year-old Alexis Garcia ran a red light and T-boned their car. The impact sent the Accord into a tow truck.
