Chino, CA (March 28, 2025) – Clarissa Cano, a 27-year-old mother from Chino, was tragically killed Thursday morning when a driver fleeing police in a stolen car ran a red light and slammed into her vehicle. The impact pushed both vehicles through a wall. Cano was on her way to visit her grandmother when the crash occurred just a few blocks from her home.
Incident Details: The crash happened shortly after police in Ontario attempted to stop a silver Audi that had been reported stolen during a burglary. The suspect sped away and, just moments later, ran a red light and crashed into Cano’s red car at high speed. The stolen vehicle’s driver survived and was arrested at the scene. Cano, a mother of a 5-year-old daughter who also cared for her younger siblings following the death of their mother from cancer, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: The driver of the stolen Audi is facing several charges, including vehicular manslaughter, and is expected to appear in court. He reportedly has a lengthy criminal history, including a conviction for burglary in 2022. Law enforcement will likely examine whether appropriate procedures were followed during the pursuit and assess any liability. Cano’s family may also consider filing a wrongful death claim against the driver and any other responsible parties.
