The collision tragically claimed the lives of three individuals, including Salas Sifuentes, Yareli Salas Dominguez, 22, and Leslie Salas Dominguez, 25, who had been identified earlier in the week.

The crash occurred in the early hours of the morning, and the impact was severe. According to authorities, the vehicle that struck the victims’ car was traveling at a high rate of speed and failed to stop after the collision. Instead, the suspect fled the scene on foot.

The loss of Juan Pablo Salas Sifuentes, Yareli Salas Dominguez, and Leslie Salas Dominguez has left their families devastated. Loved ones have described the three victims as kind-hearted and loving individuals who will be deeply missed by all who knew them.

The crash has raised concerns about speeding and reckless driving in the area, with many in the community calling for stronger measures to prevent such tragic accidents in the future.
