On Wednesday, January 13, 2010, an eleven year old boy was driving his mother’s car at her request. While driving, he ran a stop sign and was broadsided by another vehicle, killing him, his mother and his younger sister. This car accident took place at a rural intersection outside Porterville, which is about 70 miles southeast of Fresno. This 6th grader was driving home from his soccer game when he failed to obey the stop sign. The mother, Maria Covarrubias, 30, and sister, Elizabeth Silva Covarrubias, 6, both were ejected from the back seat where it is believed neither were wearing seatbelts. A family friend, Froylon Gonzalez who was wearing his seatbelt in the passenger seat of this car involved in the
auto accident, was also in the vehicle and stated he had never seen Jose drive. He was sent to a local Fresno hospital with life- threatening injuries. The driver of the other vehicle, Charles Seguin, 44, of Porterville, sustained minor injuries.
California Highway Patrol Officer Stefanie Buck said investigators have not yet been able to interview the car's lone survivor to determine why Jose Manuel Silva Covarrubias was driving his mother’s car. Officials stated it did not appear that drugs, alcohol or winter fog was a significant factor in this accident. The superintendent of Woodville Union School District, Dondreia Bradley, stated she was "stunned" to hear that Jose had been driving his mother’s car. The car accident is still under investigation.
