Residents are calling for more stop lights and signs after the latest crash on a busy Riverside street killed an 8-year-old boy.

"I don't want this to happen again. It's got to stop," said resident Jesse Marquez, who visited the young boy's growing memorial.

The crash happened around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday on Arlington Avenue when a 22-year-old driver veered onto the wrong side of the road, according to the Riverside Police Department. Investigators said he then struck a gray sedan carrying the four siblings. Police believe they may have been on their way to school. The violent collision mangled both cars and sent an engine block flying onto the road.
