The Madera County Coroner’s office has recently identified the two decedents as 33-year-old Arlene Ochoa and 41-year-old Jessica Hernandez, both residents of Firebaugh.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, around 4:00 p.m. the semi-truck pulling two trailers of pomegranates was traveling eastbound when it lost control and drifted onto the right shoulder.
