We reported earlier this week about a Yamaha Rhino off-road accident in Riverside County which killed 31-year-old Juan Carlos Camarillo of Garden Grove. After we posted the blog, new details emerged about how this tragic off road rollover accident took place. According to a news report in The Orange County Register Camarillo was not wearing a seatbelt, and had five children as passengers in the Yamaha, including a 1-year-old child on his lap. No one was wearing a helmet or any other kind of protective gear. Camarillo was apparently trying to climb a steep hill on the Yamaha Rhino with all these children in tow when he lost control and the Rhino rolled over, toppling down a sharp embankment.
Camarillo was pronounced dead at the scene. Christian Camarillo, 5, was critically injured with two broken arms. Johnathan Camarillo, 8, had a broken hand. The 1-year-old, Ethan Camarillo, had cuts on his stomach. Desiree Camarillo, 4, had a broken left leg and Marlene Maldonado, 8, injured her wrist. The children were taken to area hospitals. California Highway Patrol officials said the cause of the Yamaha Rhino off-road crash was not immediately known. The Register also reports that Juan Camarillo was charged in 2006 for driving without a seatbelt, but the charges were dismissed because Camarillo went to traffic school. Read the rest »
