Turlock, CA {November 10, 2020) – On Sunday, 11-year-old Yareli Lopez died, while police arrested 25-year-old Josue Leyva of Turlock in a deadly hit-and-run crash on Lander Avenue and Linwood Avenue.
 
Authorities responded to the fatal crash involving a silver Ford SUV and a red Honda Civic.
 
When they arrived, they found an 11-year old girl, Yareli Lopez, from the Honda Civic, with major injuries.
 
Rescuers took her to a local area hospital, where she later died.
 
Meanwhile, four other occupants of Honda Civic all sustained minor injuries. Rescuers took them to a hospital.
 
Police said the Ford SUV, driven by Leyva was also involved in another collision moments before.

Leyva fled the scene on foot shortly after both crashes.
