CHP seized an orange UTV at a home that may have been used in a hit-and-run crash that killed two children - ages 11 and 12 - in Apple Valley.
An 11-year-old girl has now died days after she was injured in a hit-and-run crash that also killed her friend while they were riding an ATV in Apple Valley.
Jacob Martinez, 12, and his friend Christina Bird, 11, were riding an ATV Saturday evening when they were struck by a UTV on Stoddard Wells Road. The driver of the UTV fled the scene after the crash. Jacob was pronounced dead at the scene. Christina was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital and was later flown to Loma Linda University Medical Center. On Wednesday, family disclosed that Christina had died.
ATVs and UTVs are both off-road vehicles, but UTVs are generally larger with more powerful engines and can be used for commercial purposes in addition to recreation. The families of both children are asking anyone with information to call CHP in Victorville at 760-241-1186.GoFundMe accounts have been created for both the families of
