Tragic River Crash Claims Family of Three | Providence News

A car plunged into the Seekonk River in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, taking three lives — a young mother, her toddler daughter, and her mother — in a heartbreaking family tragedy. The vehicle was spotted sinking by a jet skier Sunday night, and despite attempts to help, it went under too quickly. The 22-year-old driver, Linora Gomez Arceno, recently relocated to Pawtucket and loved river walks; her two-year-old daughter, Ana Sofia, and her 45-year-old mother, Floridalma Arceno, perished alongside her. Investigators suspect the younger woman may have been learning to drive from her mother before the crash. The car was in good condition, and city crews are now securing the pier area after finding a frequently moved barrier may have contributed to the accident. A GoFundMe has raised over $12,000 to aid the grieving family, who also include a husband in Guatemala and a four-year-old son.
