Livermore Community Supporting Young Survivors Of Deadly Crash

LIVERMORE, CA — The Livermore community is banding together to help four siblings who lost their parents and two young siblings in an April 13 car accident.

Arriaga Negrete, 44, Liliana Mendoza, 40, Jorge Negrete Guerrero, 12, and David Negrete Guerrero, four months old, were killed after their car lost control, overturned, and caught fire on Highway 120 in Manteca. Three people in the car were also hospitalized.

The family’s identities were confirmed by the San Joaquin County Office of the Medical Examiner a few days later.

The Livermore Police Department is working together with Horizons Family Counseling, the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District and CityServe of the Tri-Valley to help the four young surviving siblings. An aunt is taking over as the legal guardian of the four siblings, according to an update from the organizer of a GoFundMe page.

That page has raised $65,904 out of a $95,000 goal as of Thursday. “In the face of such profound loss, we are reaching out for support and assistance during this incredibly difficult time,” the organizer wrote. “Your generosity will help us navigate the challenging days ahead as we come together to honor the memory of our loved ones and support the recovery of the surviving children.”
