Accident – Death – Obituary News : A tragic incident unfolded on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach over the weekend, resulting in the untimely death of 14-year-old Rosenda Elizabeth Smiley from Rialto. The young girl was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by Joseph Alcazar, a 30-year-old from Fontana, in what authorities suspect was an alcohol-fueled crash. The Newport Beach Police Department confirmed the details of the incident, revealing that Smiley was near the Balboa Fun Zone when she was fatally hit.
Following the collision, Smiley was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving a wave of shock and sadness in the community. Alcazar, who remained at the scene of the accident, was taken into custody by law enforcement. He faces charges of homicide and cruelty to a child, the latter charge stemming from a child who was in the vehicle with him at the time of the crash.

However, the outpouring of support and grief from the community was evident as a makeshift memorial began to grow near the site of the accident. Dozens of flowers, candles, and heartfelt notes have been left by mourners in remembrance of Smiley.
The devastating loss of a young life has left many grappling with the fragility of life and the consequences of reckless behaviour.
