Californian father has been missing for two weeks after car crash

A father has been missing in California for two weeks after getting into a car accident. According to the Upland Police Department, William Orellana, 34, of Upland, disappeared on July 20 after his automobile struck a pole in Riverside.

"We're devastated. We just want to know if he is OK," said Kacey Silvas, his girlfriend who has been distributing flyers and visiting hospitals.

The father of three is reported as a "critical missing" person. , He was last seen in Riverside close to Barton and Santa Inez after the crash, according to the police.

According to Missing People in America, the white Chrysler 300 driven by Orellana crashed into a pole, but not hard enough to activate the airbags. The poster says Silvas received a missed call from him at 3.52 am on July 31.

The crashed car was found but with no one inside, just Orellana’s belongings, said Ryan Railsback of the Riverside Police to USA Today. Hours later, a different vehicle struck the wrecked automobile, resulting in yet another collision. 

"We towed the car because it was blocking the roadway. It was a hazard," said Railsback. The other driver collided with Orellana's car at around 5 am, KABC reported, but the driver said he did not see anyone inside the car.

Silvas told ABC that his disappearance is "devastating," emphasizing that Orellana's kids "need him." "We don't know if he hit his head on the steering wheel," she continued. We don’t know if he lost consciousness or if he doesn’t know who he is. I don't know how people can just vanish."

Orellana's mother, Cyntia Hernandez, typically speaks with her son several times a day. "It's the hardest thing a mother could go through,” Hernandez said. “Especially when you have such a close relationship.”

Orellana is 5'7" tall, with a thin build, and covered with tattoos on his neck and head.

Authorities request to report the information to the Upland Police Department at (909) 946-7624 with any leads on Orellana.
