On Sunday, four-month-old Elanie Barraba, a resident of Salinas, died following a rollover accident on Interstate 15.
As per the initial reports, the fatal two-vehicle crash occurred at around 12:56 p.m. on the northbound lanes of the freeway, south of Oak Hill road. The preliminary investigation of the crash revealed that a Honda Accord and a tractor-trailer were involved in the collision. The Honda Accord was occupied by two children and three adults at the time of the crash.
The Honda Accord flipped over several times due to the impact and came to rest on its side along the freeway’s shoulder. The emergency crews responded to the crash scene and rushed Barraba to hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The San Bernardino County Fire asked for two helicopters to airlift a young boy and an adult female with serious injuries to trauma centers. Officers stated that Barraba’s mother and father remain injured in the accident. The driver of a big rig stayed at the scene and cooperated with CHP officers. He also remained unharmed in the crash.
The crash is under active review.
