39-Year-Old Man Pronounced Dead after Two-Vehicle Crash near Stetson Avenue

HEMET, CA (October 21, 2022) – Tuesday afternoon, Angel Rodela Jr. died in a head-on collision on Warren Road. 

The incident happened around 3:15 p.m., just north of Stetson Avenue.

According to reports, Rodela was a passenger in a Nissan when the driver lost control and veered to the side of the road.

The driver then over-corrected, causing the Nissan to drift into the opposing lane. As a result, the Nissan went into the path of a Toyota SUV, hitting the passenger side. 

The impact of the collision left three occupants of the sedan, as well as the SUV driver, injured.
