3 victims identified in deadly NorCal car crash in El Doardo Hills

A bride-to-be was among three people killed when a Tesla slammed into a tree and erupted into flames in a horrific California crash.

Kailauna Viola Mills, 28, of Roseville, died alongside Charles Anthony Cameron, 30, of Sacramento, and Alejandra Mendoza, 28, of Sacramento, authorities said.

The wreck happened around 10:40 p.m. Saturday on westbound Serrano Parkway, west of Terracina Drive in El Dorado Hills, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A 2024 Tesla Model Y had crashed into a tree and was completely engulfed in flames when officers arrived.

Cameron, who was a passenger, was thrown from the Tesla and died at the scene. Mendoza and Mills were found inside the burning vehicle after firefighters extinguished the flames, according to the CHP.

Mill’s fiancé’s mother, Jennifer Roth, paid tribute to the young woman in a heartbreaking Facebook post.
She said: “My son Elijah’s fiancé Kailauna passed away.

“To say we are heartbroken doesn’t come close to describing the pain we are feeling. She was the missing puzzle piece that we didn’t even know was missing.”
