16 Year Old Loses Life in Single Vehicle Crash

Ashley Victoria Prado-Zamorano, 16, lost her life in a single-vehicle crash that left six others injured as well in Willows.

She was riding in a passenger van driven by Erika Diaz, 33, when the driver lost control and caused the van to flip. Of the seven passengers, Prado-Zamorano was the only one not wearing a seat belt. Several passersby called 911 to report the accident including a man who identified himself as an Army Medic. He told emergency personnel that one girl was definitely deceased while others appeared to be seriously injured.

California Highway Patrol has since released the names of the other passengers and their condition. John Morfin, 39, and Joaly Morfin-Diaz, 11, suffered major injuries and were taken to the Enloe Medical Center and UC Davis Medical Center. Younger passengers Joanna Morfin, 9, and Gabrielle Prado, 13, suffered minor injuries. There was only one passenger who escaped injury entirely, 15-year-old Joscelyn Morfin.
