Fresno family of 5 killed in fiery crash in San Bernardino County

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Fresno family traveling to a graduation celebration in Arizona was tragically killed in a fiery crash in San Bernardino County,

The family of five, including two young girls, was t-boned by a driver on Friday, May 22 and their car burst into flames. The driver who hit the family also died in the crash.

A relative who had already arrived at the graduation was worried that she had not heard from her loved ones.

"There was just too much time, so then we started going through the motions, calling hospitals, let's look at TikTok, lets look at Facebook, and see if there are any accidents and there ended up being some accidents there so then we started thinking, well maybe they are the ones stuck there with no gas you know maybe their phones because they aren't answering," cousin Itzia Zamarripa said.

Only three of the family members have been identified at this time.

Family members say the two adult brothers, Sergio and Antonio Leon, were very close and had a loving football rivalry with each other.

Sergio's wife, Herminia, was known for her warmth, compassion and motherly love.

Sergio and Herminia's twin 4-year-old daughters, Nyah and Naomi, were set to graduate from Pre-K this week.

The family has created a GoFundMe page to help with expenses in laying the family to rest.
