Donations Accepted for Victims of Van Crash
The Mexican Consulate is accepting donations to help the families of five immigrants who were killed in a fiery van crash June 16.
The young Mexican nationals were returning to their home in East Los Angeles from a fruit-vending trip in San Jose when an 18-wheeler rammed the back of the vehicle, causing it to burst into flames.
Three survivors were injured, one seriously. Several of the victims had only been in the country a few weeks.
Donations may be sent to Mexican Consulate Account No. 00717-05353, Accident Interstate 5, Bank of America, 1011 Van Ness Ave., Fresno, CA 93721.
Information: (209) 486-2251.
