The body of a little girl, faced down in the mud, was found in the Tijuana River Valley around 10.a.m. on Sunday, January 31,2010. It was spotted near a park at the west end of Monument Road in San Diego County.

The body, spotted by Pio Cruz--a volunteer with the Desert Angels--might belong to the 5- year old girl who was swept away in a San Diego County auto accident near the Tijuana River’s raging waters on January 20, 2010. The car accident led to the death of a mother and her eldest daughter, while two young children--a 2-year old son and 5-year old daughter--went missing. The body found by Cruz is believed to be the missing girl.

Last Wednesday, another body had been found which was believed to be of the 2-year old boy. But Lt. Margaret San Filippo with the San Diego Sheriff's Department commented that everything will be confirmed after DNA testing. The body is thought to have been swept away from the Tijuana side of the border though large tubes, big enough for a person to walk through.
We all had prayed for the safe return of the children. Unfortunately, that was not to be. Our office wishes to convey our condolences near to the family of the victims. This tragedy that has befallen the husband/father of this family cannot be expressed in words. It is just too great.

A 36-year old Julian woman died tragically as her car, a Chevrolet Astro minivan, rammed into a stationary Oldsmobile 98 station wagon, which had crossed over the center divide of highway SR-67 near San Vicente Reservoir. The East San Diego County auto accident also seriously injured the driver of the Oldsmobile, John Hallaway of Las Vegas. The driver of the minivan was killed instantly.

This fatal car accident occurred on January 26, 2010, around 2:30 p.m near Johnson Lake Road. Apparently, the station wagon, had swerved across the road and continued against the southbound traffic for over a quarter of mile.The minivan could not swerve away to avoid the wrong-way driver.The victim’s name has been withheld by the California Highway Patrol awaiting notification from her family. Mr. Hallaway suffered major injuries and was airlifted to a local trauma center. Hallaway claims that he could not control his vehicle because he had fallen asleep just before the crash. You can read more about this accident in this 10news.com story.

Such freak accidents tend to leave one shaky and faithless in the conduct of other motorists. Clearly, Mr. Hallaway’s failure to keep his vehicle on the right side of the road led to this horrific traffic collision. Who would have thought that despite adhering to all the norms and regulations of driving, the young lady would die this way? Our wishes and prayers go out to the family and friends of the deceased woman. We understand how tough it is to cope with the passing away of someone so close to you. Everything seems so unfair!

Two children who were involved in a San Diego County auto accident and were swept away by the Tijuana River last week are still reported missing by San Diego authorities. A 5-year old boy and 2-year old girl were thrown into the flowing Tijuana River after their family car crashed into the water last Wednesday. Their 9-year old sister was killed in the car accident while the parents’ conditions were unknown. Several search attempts have been made for a body drifting in the storm waters near the Border Field State Park.

It was early Sunday when migrants near the Border Field State Park reported to the authorities of a body floating in the water. Maurice Luque, spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, said that the fire crew, along with the lifeguards and US Customs and Border Protection agents, searched the area where the body was spotted for hours but found nothing. The area being searched is near where Imperial Beach and San Ysidro meet the Mexican border. The bodies of the 5-year old and 2-year old have not been found.

We can only hope and pray that the children lost in the Tijuana River will soon be found by the authorities and brought back home to safety. According to authorities, last week’s storms caused the water in the dam upstream to nearly crest, leading to a large amount of water to flow through the area. You can read more about the car crash that led to the disappearance of these two children here in this Washington Post story.

A series of winter storms have created a series of traffic wrecks and car accidents in San Diego County during the last week.
