Andrew Sanchez and Alberto Piedra Die in Tragic Crash on Anaheim Boulevard [Los Angeles, CA]

Los Angeles, CA (April 1, 2026) — 14-year-old Andrew Sanchez and 70-year-old Alberto Piedra were killed Tuesday in a multi-vehicle crash on Anaheim Boulevard.

According to authorities, the shocking crash happened before 1 a.m. near Lincoln Avenue.

Reports say that the devastating crash in Anaheim claimed the lives of two individuals, leaving several others seriously injured.

Reports say that Sanchez lost his life after riding as a passenger in a speeding Infiniti that tore through city streets shortly before 1 a.m. The driver reportedly shut off the vehicle’s headlights while fleeing the area, moments before running a red light at a busy intersection.

The Infiniti slammed into multiple vehicles at Anaheim Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue, creating a chaotic scene filled with wreckage. The impact also killed Piedra, who had been driving one of the struck vehicles.

Emergency responders rushed at least two critically injured victims to nearby hospitals, while others received treatment for less severe injuries. Authorities confirmed that several vehicles suffered extensive damage in the violent collision.

Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash, including the events leading up to the high-speed driving.

Finding Strength and Justice After a Tragic Loss

Losing someone you love in a sudden accident is one of life’s most painful experiences. Beyond the heartbreak, families are often left facing emotional, practical, and financial challenges — from medical bills and funeral costs to the loss of companionship and financial support.

In times like these, it’s important to know that you have options. Filing a wrongful death claim can help bring justice to your loved one’s memory and provide much-needed financial support for those left behind.

A wrongful death claim can help families recover compensation for:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical costs from the victim’s final care
• Lost income and future financial support
• Emotional suffering and loss of companionship

This legal process is about more than money — it’s about accountability. Whether the crash was caused by reckless driving, intoxication, or negligence, holding the at-fault party responsible helps ensure that similar tragedies are less likely to happen again.

While no legal action can ever replace the person you’ve lost, seeking justice can bring a sense of closure and peace to grieving families. It’s one way to honor your loved one’s life and legacy.
