The driver failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway, which caused the silver Toyota to leave the roadway and collide with a dirt embankment, according to a CHP report.
Valencia died at the scene of the crash, according to CHP.
“Excessive speed appears to be a contributing factor for the cause of this collision; however, a thorough investigation is ongoing,” reads the report.

Ok….let me get this straight.. He’s got a child and dies. Now there is a Gofundme for his child. What? Did he not know about life insurance. Heck. You can’t live a day without getting a phone call from a life insurance agent or hearing about term life ad on the radio. For $10 / month (at his age) he could have left enough life insurance money that his child would need Gofundme
Lesson: If you have minor children, go buy some term life insurance coverage
What a Dbag
If you didn’t have anything good to say you should’ve scrolled pass this and went on with your life. My condolences to the family. Please don’t let people like him get you down. That’s nothing but the DEVIL!
