The cherished late country singer’s vehicle is seen in horrifying photos after the driver was killed in a collision.
“La Rancherita de Chanco,” also known as Ivana Pino Arellano, perished in a horrific vehicle accident. A popular country singer, she was.
Her automobile had rolled over on the side of the road and was severely damaged, according to photos taken immediately after the collision.
The photos show an orange sheet covering the rear of the totaled vehicle. The vehicle is leaning against a wall on its side.
Just one day after celebrating her 32nd birthday with a celebration hosted by family and friends, the singer crashed her automobile.
It took place in the Maule Region in the heart of Chile, close to the town of Pelluhe, on the M-80 highway.
Arellano passed away at the scene of the collision, and her passenger suffered severe injuries.
Although the exact reason of the accident is still being investigated, it is believed that the singer lost control of her vehicle due to the wet road, causing it to topple over.
Arellano was a well-liked member of her community and a rising star in the country music industry. She had four children of her own.
Everyone in that community is in mourning following her untimely and awful death.
Due to her stunning voice and fascinating stage presence, Chanco developed a sizable fan base in her native Chile. Her admirers adored her, and the local government even provided for her.
Arellano was a talented artist who combined more contemporary sounds with classic Latin American sounds.
She frequently incorporated aspects of folk, pop, and indie music, giving these classic genres a fresh and meaningful sound through the use of acoustic instruments, sincere lyrics, and rich voice.
She wrote a number of songs on love and personal development. Their honesty and deep emotional depth won them over a lot of admirers.
The terrible news was confirmed by the Municipality of Chanco in a depressing statement that was shared on social media. “Unforgettable figure whose charisma will resonate eternally in our lives,” they said of the singer.
“To us, the name ‘Ivana’ will always represent joy and happiness in its most basic form,” they declared.
“Your passing leaves a vacuum that cannot be filled, but your legacy will live on and serve as a constant reminder of the kindness and beauty in your heart and spirit.”
These sentiments were shared by the local council, who also commended Ivana for her dedication to public service and her unshakable love for her family.
Regarding the singer who passed away, they said, “Ivana personified the spirit of public service with passion and love, always ready to help others and find solutions even in the most difficult moments.”
“The most significant aspects of her life and the driving force behind her actions were her spouse and kids,” they stated.
She was buried at the Curanipe Parish Cemetery in Pelluhe on June 17. Fans, family, and friends showed up to pay their final respects.
“We appreciate you, Ivana, for providing us with days full of light and peace,” the Municipality of Chanco stated in a message.
Heartbreaking Tragedy: Dad Breaks Silence After Mom and 3 Kids Found Dead
The small town of Wolcottville, Indiana, is still in shock after a terrible tragedy earlier this September.
Rebecca Hughes, who was 32 years old, was found dead along with her three children: 8-year-old Evelyn, 6-year-old Allison, and 5-year-old Amelia.
On September 17, police went to check on Hughes at her home and found her body along with her children’s.
The Indiana State Police sent detectives and crime scene investigators to the home. Police stated that the information and evidence they have shows there is no threat to the public.
While the investigation is still going on, authorities have not yet figured out what caused the tragedy, according to WSBT22. The Noble County Coroner’s Office has not released the cause of death or a toxicology report.
This heartbreaking news has deeply affected the close-knit community of Wolcottville, which has about 1,000 residents. As people learned the names of the family, many gathered to mourn and pay their respects. Main Street was filled with candles and stuffed animals, creating a touching tribute to the lost family.
Local pastor Mike Stanley told WSBT22, “Everybody’s grieving in their own way. If we come together and share that love… there are people here that I don’t know from the community, and I’ve lived here for twenty-some-odd years. But if we share the hurt, we share the burden; it all gets a little lighter for all of us.”
The children’s father, Jonathan Newell, set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral costs. He also shared a moving statement. “These kids deserve so much more than I can provide for their burials. Rebecca, their mom, took them with her when she passed on 09/17/2024. If you can, everything helps. If you need to be paid back after, I can make payments. I’ll do whatever it takes,” Jonathan wrote.
The community came together to support Jonathan and the children. By the end of the fundraising campaign, he had received an amazing $47,000 in donations. “People who didn’t even know me or my kids started just giving money and sending messages,” Jonathan told ABC57.
On Sunday, September 22, funeral services were held at Hite Funeral Home for the girls, followed by a burial at Swan Cemetery. In another update on September 24, Jonathan wrote, “The funeral was beautiful, and my daughters were laid to rest in peace. Please stop donating now; I appreciate everything, but others need this now. Tomorrow I will start personal thank yous again.”
At this point, no one knows for sure what happened to the girls, as nothing has been made public. However, interviews with Jonathan, the father, and Rebecca’s friends show that Rebecca struggled with mental health issues.
Friend Ashley Gross posted on Facebook, describing Rebecca as “quiet and shy” around strangers but “so funny and bubbly” with friends. She added, “Rebecca did love her kids, and unfortunately, I don’t think anyone was there for her as she was going through something, mentally and emotionally.”
In the wake of the tragedy, Jonathan has shared an important message. He expressed regret for not being more present and hopes others can avoid feeling the same way. “If you are a parent, and you have kids, and you need help, then get it. Because you don’t know when it’s going to be the last time you can,” he pleaded.
