Two Children Critically Injured in Traffic Collision 

An 8-year-old boy died while undergoing treatment following a car accident in Walnut on Sunday morning. 

The incident took place on May 8th just before 2 a.m. at the intersection of East Valley Boulevard and North Grand Avenue.

Phillip Rosas, 8, a 12-year-old girl, along with their mother and another adult were traveling in a Chrysler Town and Country minivan at the time of the accident.

A Toyota Camry hit their van, causing the minivan to shear a fire hydrant and the Camry to become engulfed in flames. 

Due to the impact, the girl and Rosas were left in critical condition.

Sadly, the boy later died while undergoing treatment at the hospital. The mother along with the other adult were also hospitalized in stable condition. 

Additionally, the Camry driver suffered undisclosed injuries and was also arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter.
