The Coroner’s office has identified the two people who were killed in Yucca Valley in a crash Thursday afternoon. Jesse Torres, 64, and Melissa Torres, 36, both of Yucca Valley, were northbound on Warren Vista, attempting to cross Yucca Trail, when their red Bronco was broadsided by Brooke Nemeth, 23, of Yucca Valley, who was driving westbound on Yucca Trail in a black Cherokee. Both Jesse Torres and Melissa Torres died at the scene. Brooke Nemeth was treated at the scene and released. The Sheriff’s Department originally identified Melissa Torres as being from Kansas, but the Coroner’s office said she had recently moved to Yucca Valley.
