Lake Elsinore Teen Killed in Riverside County Pedestrian Accident

By Ross Jurewitz

A 13-year old Lake Elsinore girl was killed in a Riverside County pedestrian accident on February 5, 2010, as she and another teen were struck by a Toyota pickup while crossing Mission Trail Road near the intersection at Malaga Road in Lake Elsinore. This tragic car vs. pedestrian accident took place around 7:55 p.m.

The victim, Mandy Reyes, died within a few minutes of the auto accident, where as the other teenager sustained minor injuries to both legs. The preliminary investigation revealed that the driver of the pick-up was traveling south on Mission trail in a light rain when he collided with two juveniles, reported Riverside County Sheriff Sgt. Marc Cloutier.

Our office wishes to convey our sincere prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Mandy Reyes. It is just so tragic to lose someone so young! We hope pedestrians be more careful while they attempt to cross the roads.
