A Filipino American family, including a 5-year old boy and a 7-month old infant, were killed when their car crashed into a tree in Delano, California on Saturday night, Feb. 16.
All riders in the vehicle were killed in the crash including the driver of the vehicle, Jalson Rubang Laguta, 46, and passengers Danilo Aquino Sanidad, 60; Arlene Osarin Laguta, 30; Jalson Laguta, 5; and Jarl Joseph Laguta, 7 months.

The Laguta family were residents of Delano.

Jalson Laguta was driving the 
2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor SUV carrying his passengers when it swerved off the road on northbound Highway 99 for an unknown reason, hit a tree and caught fire, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The driver, Laguta, was reportedly traveling in the No. 3 lane at about 70 mph when he drove onto the right shoulder, narrowly missing a large street sign. The SUV continued north and struck a large tree head-on.

Officers have not determined if drugs, alcohol or medical conditions were a factor of the accident. Anyone with information is asked to contact the CHP in Bakersfield at 661-396-6600.
