When emergency services responded closing a section of Martin Luther King Dr., after discovering a large debris field and an occupant who had been ejected from the one-vehicle accident, Dinho said.

 Medical treatment was immediately provided to all four adult occupants of the vehicle, and the ejected passenger, Valdovinos, was pronounced dead, he added.
