A father and daughter who were killed in a Beaumont crash have been identified, Riverside County coroner’s officials said.
Thirty-year-old Hemet resident Raymond Rivera was pronounced dead Wednesday, July 29, at the scene of the crash. His 1-year-old daughter Illyana died at 5:49 p.m. — about three hours after the crash, a coroner’s report said.
Rivera was driving a red Toyota Corolla with three children west on First Street about a quarter-mile south of Interstate 10 about 2:09 p.m. Wednesday when it collided with a northbound white Ford truck, investigators said.
The impact sent the car smashing into another truck — a silver Dodge.
The father was pronounced dead on the scene. Firefighters cut the children from the wreckage and paramedics took them to hospitals with major injuries, investigators said Wednesday.
The driver of the Ford was hospitalized and the driver of the Dodge was uninjured.
