Four Injured and One Killed in Riverside Head-on Crash

Riverside, CA – A tragic incident occurred in Riverside on Tuesday, May 16, 2023, around 7:30 a.m., resulting in the death of an eight-year-old boy and hospitalization of four others. The collision involved a gray Nissan sedan and a white Honda sedan at the intersection of Arlington and Stover Avenues.

According to Riverside Police, the Honda lost control and veered into the path of the Nissan, causing a head-on collision. The four occupants of the Nissan, including a female adult and three juveniles, were rushed to the hospital with injuries ranging from critical to serious. Unfortunately, the eight-year-old boy later succumbed to his injuries. The incident remains under investigation.
