The woman whose life ended in the traffic collision at Perris, California, has been identified. On Wednesday, February 26th, the Riverside County Coroner’s Office released her name as Tameika Belton, 48, of Perris.

Belton died after her car collided with another on the evening of Tuesday, February 25th. According to the Riverside County Fire Department, the vehicles involved in the accident crashed for reasons they are yet to uncover.

Emergency services got a call to come to an area near Lake Mathews at about 7:10 p.m. The two cars involved rolled after hitting each other, according to the California Highway Patrol.

One of the vehicles then caught fire and was extinguished by the RCFD. The fire department and paramedics at the scene found Belton unresponsive, and the medics pronounced her dead.

The second driver whose identity has not been revealed sustained minor injuries but was taken to the hospital for treatment. There is no information on the welfare of the driver at the time of this report.

The CHP is investigating with the local authorities to uncover what caused the collision. So far, the second driver appears to be free of liability, and there is no sign of drugs or alcohol involvement.

Cars roll over for several reasons when an accident occurs. It is often caused by damaged tires, over speeding, and driver’s panic at the point of a crash.

In preventing the above, motorists should ensure their vehicle is up to date on safety regulations and have the appropriate tires. They should also ensure they drive within the speed limit, and maintain their composure when faced with a collision.
