According to police, the Corolla failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection and entered the Tundra’s path. The Tundra then struck the Corolla.
6-year-old Keydan Garcia-Garcia, from Bridgeville, was a passenger in the back of the Corolla, according to police. The child was taken to a nearby hospital with critical injuries but sadly died days later on August 1. The Corolla’s front seat passenger, a 15-year-old girl from Bridgeville, was also taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
