Fox26 News<\/a>: \u201cWe had family members starting to arrive. As they were arriving … Sergio, Antonio, Naya, Naomi, and Mini never showed up.\u201d<\/p>\nCalifornia Highway Patrol responded to the incident at 8:20 a.m. on the eastbound side of State Route 62, near Cadiz Road, in the community of Freda, according to a county Sheriff\u2019s Department news release. Each of the six involved were pronounced dead at the scene, the release said.<\/p>\n
Freda is deep in the Mojave Desert, about 40 miles west of the Arizona state line and east of Joshua Tree National Park.<\/p>\n
The family members were identified as Sergio Leon, 38, Herminia Hernandez, 39, Antonio Leon, 36, and 4 year-old twins Naomi and Nyah Leon. The driver in the other car involved in the collision was identified as Holly Chafey, 60, according to the county coroner.<\/p>\n
