Los Angeles, CA (JAN 16th 2025)- Authorities have identified the victims of a fatal Valinda crash involving a suspected impaired driver that claimed three lives earlier this week. The tragic incident occurred at around 10:45 p. m. Tuesday near the intersection of Temple and North Azusa avenues, leaving two individuals dead at the scene and a third victim succumbing to injuries later at a hospital.

The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that Carlos Cardona Acosta, 23, and Jossue de Leon Villegas, 21, lost their lives in the collision. The crash reportedly involved a Jeep, driven by a suspect believed to be under the influence, colliding with a Nissan Versa. While two passengers in the Versa were pronounced dead at the scene, the third victim’s name, age, and gender have not yet been released.

KeyNews.TV footage captured the devastating aftermath, showing the Jeep overturned and the heavily damaged Nissan Versa, which had to be covered with a tarp. The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Yasmin Flores Magana of La Puente, was arrested on suspicion of DUI and vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

Compensation at Stake for Victims’ Families

In tragedies like this fatal Valinda crash, the victims’ families face not only emotional turmoil but also significant financial challenges. Families may be eligible for compensation to cover medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional damages resulting from the wrongful death of their loved ones. This compensation is crucial in helping families manage the overwhelming burdens they often face after such catastrophic events.

Additionally, if survivors of the crash were left with serious injuries, they might also be entitled to recover damages for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. Navigating these legal processes can be complex, especially while grieving a loved one, making professional legal assistance indispensable.
