CHINO HILLS, CA (March 21, 2023) – Early Sunday, a wrong-way collision on State Route 71 claimed the lives of Gedion Mbatha Mutuka, Ruth Mulisa Wambusa, and two other people. 

The deadly crash happened on March 19th, at around 2:30 a.m. at Chino Hills Parkway.

According to reports, a 2021 Volvo, occupied by two people, was traveling north in the southbound lanes of State Route 71 when it hit a 2018 Volvo.

Additionally, the 2021 Volvo became airborne and landed on the center divider before catching fire.

Emergency crews arrived at the scene shortly after. Officials at the scene reported that 4 people died as a result of the collision.
