(GoFundMe)<\/a>Alberto Viveros Piedra, 70, of Orange, was among two people killed in a multi-vehicle crash early Tuesday morning in Anaheim.<\/p>\n\nOne of the fatalities was identified as 70-year-old Alberto Viveros Piedra of Orange.<\/p>\n
\nAccording to Anaheim police, an officer attempted to stop a silver Infiniti sedan that was speeding and driving erratically near Cypress Street around 12:45 a.m., but the driver turned off the vehicle lights, accelerated at a high rate of speed, and fled the area. Police said no pursuit was initiated. Shortly afterward, the 19-year-old Infiniti driver disregarded a red light at Lincoln Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard, triggering a crash involving at least four vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nViveros, who was driving a red Toyota Camry, died at the scene. A GoFundMe<\/a> page has been set up to assist with his funeral expenses.<\/p>\n \nA 14-year-old passenger in the Infiniti was also killed, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.<\/p>\n \nThe Infiniti driver and two teenage girls riding in the back seat were taken to a hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED<\/p>\n \nEach year, hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries are caused by drivers who run red lights in the United States. In 2023, 1,086 people were killed in crashes that involved red-light running.<\/p>\n \nSeveral factors are to blame for the surge in traffic fatalities, but at the heart of it is driver behavior\u2014including speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and distracted driving, especially due to cellphone use. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that 8,055 lives were lost in motor vehicle collisions during the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n \nWhile the cause and liability of the crash are being investigated, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, said that it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney.<\/p>\n \n\u201cIn addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,\u201d said Bond, a national analyst for The Legal Advocate.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\u201cTime is of the essence in cases such as this one, and the victim\u2019s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM<\/p>\n \nPending the investigation, the family members of Alberto Viveros may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a catastrophic accident.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe understand that losing a loved one is not only a deeply emotional loss but also an economic one,\u201d said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal. \u201cIf you have lost a loved one due to someone else\u2019s negligence, contact a wrongful death attorney and get the guidance needed to obtain the justice you deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\u201cInsurance companies may try to take advantage of your lack of knowledge of the law and offer a low settlement or deny your claim altogether. An attorney can protect your rights and ensure that you are not taken advantage of.\u201d<\/p>\n (This report is based on verified data – learn more on our About Us<\/a> page.)<\/p>\n Have you been in a similar accident and need help?
