California: Driver Allegedly Fleeing Police at 100 mph Causes Fatal Accident, Claiming The Lives of Two Brothers, Aged 8 and 4

A heartbreaking twist of fate took the lives of two young brothers, Malikai and Mason Orozco-Romero, ages 8 and 4, in a tragic car accident in San Diego. Their family's car was struck by a fleeing driver being chased by police, shattering their peaceful evening ride. The impact sent their vehicle into a tree, leaving it engulfed in flames. 

The speeding suspect, 20-year-old Angel Velazquez Salgado, faces multiple charges, including murder and reckless driving. While he pleaded not guilty, the evidence paints a harrowing picture. Authorities say Salgado, behind the wheel of a BMW, was reaching speeds of 100 miles per hour, putting countless lives at risk before the devastating crash.

In the wake of this tragedy, Malikai and Mason's mother, Victoria, remains in critical condition, battling the physical and emotional toll of the accident. She had already faced the heartbreak of losing their father the previous year. Their community has rallied around her, raising over $20,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to help her through this unimaginable time.

This story serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of reckless choices on the road. The vibrant smiles of Malikai and Mason, forever frozen in memory, urge us to prioritize safety and responsibility behind the wheel.
