## Resource

A devastating four-car crash on Highway 87 in San Jose last December claimed the lives of a 29-year-old mother, Ivana Balistreri, and her one-year-old daughter, Lilliana, when their Lexus caught fire. Investigators now point to Tesla driver Zachary Chernicky as the cause, leading to his arrest in July. The family’s heartbreaking GoFundMe honors Ivana’s kindness and Lilliana’s joyful spirit, while the tragedy underscores the fragile nature of road safety and the long road to justice for a family shattered by loss.
