Authorities Mix Up Identities of Crash Victims

University of Evansville student Abby Guerra was said to be dead according to authorities. As family flew in for the funeral, the medical examiner double-checked fingerprint records and realized a terrible mistake had been made. 21-year-old Marlena Cantu was dead. Her friend Abby Guerra was alive and fighting for her life.

According to KSDK, "Guerra was a passenger in a vehicle with four of her friends last Sunday driving back to Arizona from Disneyland when the SUV apparently blew a tire and flipped on Interstate 10, about 50 miles from the family's home in Glendale." Two of the passengers died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. One of those was supposedly Abby Guerra until authorities identified their mistake. So far, they have not figured out just how the mistake was made.

KSDK writes that the girl's injuries were so severe that it was tough to tell who she was, which is probably why Cantu's parents were able to sit by her bedside for so long without realizing that this was not their daughter.

ABC 15 reports that a black Camaro made a sudden U-turn while speeding. According to ABC 15, "Authorities say the driver lost control of the vehicle just east of Foster Road, went left of center and was struck broadside by a half ton pickup occupied by a family from Polacca, Arizona."

The black Camaro was fleeing from police. A deputy reports that the driver was not driving safely, leading him to believe that the driver may have been under the influence. The deputy, who drove a marked police vehicle, turned on both his siren and lights. Neither one prompted the Camaro to stop.

ABC 13 reports that, "According to the Sheriff's Office, the injuries to an elderly female in the pickup truck and the driver of the Camaro appeared to be serious, but it was not immediately known if the injuries were life-threatening." The accident is still being investigated by authorities.
