Rayla Piedra Killed in Fresno Car Accident at Belmont and Brawley Avenues

Tragedy struck late Tuesday night when a single-vehicle crash near the intersection of Belmont Avenue and Brawley Avenue claimed the life of 14-year-old Rayla Piedra. The incident also resulted in the death of her sister, 21-year-old Angelina Nino.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the crash occurred around 11:05 p.m. near Belmont Avenue and Brawley Avenue. Authorities say the vehicle, driven by Angelina Nino, was traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed when it failed to stop at a Brawley Avenue stop sign. The car then left the roadway, striking a power pole, several trees, a fence, a parked vehicle, and finally coming to rest in a commercial lot.

Angelina Nino was pronounced dead at the scene. Rayla Piedra, a student at Justin Garza High School in the Central Unified School District, was hospitalized with major injuries and later succumbed to them. A 27-year-old male passenger was also in the vehicle and is currently hospitalized with serious injuries
