Third Teenager Dies Following High-Speed Police Pursuit Crash in Fontana

A tragic incident occurred in Fontana, resulting in the death of a third teenager from San Bernardino. The high-speed police pursuit crash not only claimed the lives of two young passengers but also left two police officers and the driver of the chased car seriously injured.

The fatal incident unfolded on Saturday night when the unidentified driver of a white Nissan Sentra, who refused to comply with a traffic stop, initiated a 20-second pursuit. The chase reached speeds exceeding 100 mph, eventually culminating in a devastating collision between the driver and a police car at the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Cypress Avenue, as stated by the police in a recent press release.

Tragically, the two passengers in the Nissan Sentra, later identified as 15-year-old Robert Rias and 14-year-old Domonic Adams Jr., succumbed to their injuries at the crash site. Additionally, the driver and another passenger were rushed to the hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, the third passenger, 15-year-old Omari Pitts, could not overcome the severity of his injuries and passed away later.

The devastating loss has deeply impacted the community, especially Carter High School in Rialto, where all three deceased teenagers were students. The Rialto Unified School District expressed their grief and extended their support to the affected students and staff members. Syeda Jafri, spokesperson for the district, stated, “The district is heartbroken in the loss of our three young students. Social-emotional support for students and staff began this morning and will continue at Carter High School and schools where students and staff have been impacted. The district also wishes the three surviving individuals a full recovery. This will be a challenging week for our education community, but we will remain resilient.”

The condition of the driver, who is being treated for serious injuries, remains unclear. It is yet to be determined whether the driver was also a student or had any connection to the three teenagers who tragically lost their lives.

One of the injured officers involved in the crash was discharged from the hospital on Monday. However, the other officer is still undergoing treatment for their injuries, as confirmed by Fontana Officer Steven Reed.

The Fontana Police Department expressed their deepest condolences to the families, friends, and all those affected by this heartbreaking loss. They acknowledged the profound impact of such incidents on the community and offered their thoughts and prayers to everyone touched by this tragedy.
