Southern California family broken after 6-year-old girl killed in crosswalk
A family in Pomona is devastated after a 6-year-old girl was killed and her 19-year-old sister was severely injured when a driver struck them as they were crossing the street in a marked crosswalk Tuesday night. The collision occurred just after 8 p.m. at the intersection of Towne and Lexington avenues.
When officers with the Pomona Police Department arrived at the scene, they found 6-year-old Guadalupe Alvarez Salgado and her older sister, Mireya, lying in the street. Mireya was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where she remains in the intensive care unit. Guadalupe, or Lupe as everyone called her, was declared dead at the scene.

My condolences go out to precious Lupe family members she is definitely in the arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ she's an Angel who is going to watch over her family praying that Our Lord comforts them I too will pray for her mom especially 🙏
I hate crosswalks. I don’t understand why are people so lazy to walk to a traffic light smh and even at traffic light isn’t safe imagine those crosswalks? when my kids were little I never used them NEVER
RIP Lupita
So sad my heartfelt condolences 🙏 that's so sad as a parent
Was it a drunk?
Rest in Peace kid 🙏🙏🙏!
Pay careful attention when your driving in a high pedestrian area, and would not have happen.
PLEASE! PLEASE! NO MATTER IF THE LIGHT IS GREEN OR IF THERE IS A STOP SIGN OR A CROSS WAY, PLEASE PLEASE TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO STOP, LOOK AND MAKE SURE THE CAR COMES TO A SLOW AND STOPS. TELL THEM THAT CARS DO NOT ALWAYS STOP.
Why has there been a uptake on more pedestrians getting run-over and killed compared to last year?!
They got to watch their surrounding all the time theres bad people driving shootin always be careful and stay with your own brown community's
This is so gutwrenching; this shouldn't of happened. Prayers for the recovery of the older daughter. Condolences for lupita.
Why God why😢
You can't let a 6 or10 years old cross the street by themselves
Honestly the city needs to put cameras , have more motorcycle cops in the streets cuz here in SoCal everyone drives horrible. I shouldn’t have to be kicking peoples cars or smacking them windows for them to notice me. This is Outrageous
Nothing Will happen
Pedestrian got the right away, thats in the driving manual.
So sad. 🙏
Welcome to California 🙄 where laws protect criminals not victims 😢
The mum will be devastated for the loss of her sweet baby girl.
Everything seems to happen randomly.
R.I.P little one. 💔🧸🐇 🎈 💐🕯 👼🏻.
Aww man . Rip lil angel 👼
The Family can sue the city of Pomona and the County for a broken cross walk button which caused this accident and Guadalupe's death, her sister scarred for life if she survives…
RiP lupita
Super sad, she looked like a really sweet girl. The driver responsible needs to spend decades in prison.
Too many large vehicles on the road. Too many selfish and careless drivers. Invest in public transportation. Get these death machines off the road.
Thanks Lord for your peace
Thanks Lord for your salvation
wow
