Whittier, CA

This has been a nightmare of a week at Rio Hondo College.

Last Saturday, star wrestling team captain Jesse Cruz died during a match against a Cerritos College student at the Mt. SAC Duals.

The death of Cruz sent a shock wave across this magical campus that is nestled in the hills above Whittier and Pico Rivera.

Then two days later on Monday afternoon, three other Rio Hondo College students were involved in a tragic automobile accident that left one female student dead, and her son and another male student seriously injured.

The "El Paisano Newspaper" reported in its Thursday edition that an argument may have led to the fatal accident that killed Romina Polanco, 47 of Monrovia on Monday afternoon and seriously injured her son (and driver) Breandin Polanco, 19 and passenger Matt Munoz, 19.

Romina was pronounced dead at the scene. Breandin and Matt were listed in critical but stable condition and were transported to USC Medical Center via helicopter.

All three involved in the crash were Rio Hondo College students and Breandin and Matt were staff writers at award winning "El Paisano" student newspaper.

According to Sheriff Detective Michael Gonzalez, Breandin Polanco may have been arguing with his mother Romina when he lost control of the vehicle before striking a tree near the intersection of Pellissier Place and Peck Road, at approximately 3 P.M on Monday.

The vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed, according to officials from the fire department. The car was totally wrapped around the tree and literally sliced in half.

Officials think that speed was a factor in the tragic accident. Romina was sitting, in the front passenger side with her seat belt on and suffered massive internal injuries and full body trauma, according to reports.

Breandin suffered several busted bones including a broken femur, broken pelvis, dislocated shoulder and upper body internal injuries.

Munoz suffered major internal injuries, and several lacerations to the face and upper and lower body injuries.

No charges have been filed, it appears to have been a tragic accident.

My thoughts and PRAYERS go OUT to EVERYONE at RIO HONDO COLLEGE THIS WEEK!

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
