Riverside woman, 55, killed, juvenile seriously injured, in Jurupa Valley crash

JURUPA VALLEY, Calif., — Authorities say a woman has died after a two-vehicle collision that injured two others, including a child who suffered serious injuries, in Jurupa Valley Wednesday morning, Dec. 15.

The deadly accident, which happened at the intersection of Limonite Avenue and Clay Street, forced the hours-long closure of Limonite Avenue between Spectrum Center and Baldwin Avenue, but the roadways have since been reopened.

Deputies from the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station, Cal Fire – Riverside, and other emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene around 7:11 a.m. after receiving the report of a major injury traffic collision, Riverside Sheriff’s Sergeant Javier Morando has since reported.

When officials arrived they found two involved vehicles with a total of three victims and immediately began providing medical treatment to the trio.

Despite life-saving efforts, one of the victims succumbed to her injuries and passed away at the scene.

The Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office has since identified Katherine Hoth, 53, of Riverside, as the victim killed in the collision. A Coroner’s release indicated she was pronounced deceased at 7:22 a.m.

In addition to the woman killed in the crash, paramedics treated a juvenile who was later transported by ground ambulance to an area hospital with injuries Cal Fire described as serious. A second adult was also treated at the scene for minor injuries but declined further medical treatment.

Based on the circumstances, members of the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Traffic Collision Reconstruction Team responded to the location and assumed the investigation.

It remains unknown if alcohol and/or drugs were a factor in the crash, according to Morando.

While officials worked at the scene they called for the temporary closure of both directions of Limonite Avenue between Spectrum Center and Baldwin Avenue, but the roadway has since been cleared and reopened.
