CONCORD, CA – A tragic road accident claimed the life of a 16-year-old asylum seeker in the East Bay last weekend, leaving a family and community in mourning. Alina, a student at Mount Diablo High School, had been living in the United States for just over a year. Her sudden death has left a void that her grieving family struggles to comprehend.
Alina’s family, originally from Afghanistan, fled to Pakistan before seeking asylum in the U.S. in 2024, hoping for a brighter future. Her sister, Numera, described Alina as her best friend, sister, and daughter all in one. “The worst moment of my life was receiving that call,” she said, still in disbelief over the loss.
The accident occurred on Ignacio Valley Road. Alina was driving with two friends when another vehicle collided head-on with her car. Emergency responders rushed the injured to the hospital, but Alina was pronounced dead at the scene. One of her friends remains hospitalized with severe injuries.
The family had high hopes for Alina’s future. She aspired to become a lawyer and was known for her ambition and gentle spirit. Her dreams were tragically cut short, leaving her family to grapple with the loss of a promising life.
The community has rallied around the family, offering support and condolences. Donations have poured in, helping the family during this difficult time. Once the police investigation concludes, Alina’s family plans to hold a proper funeral and burial.
The accident underscores the fragility of life and the unexpected turns it can take. Alina’s story is one of hope, ambition, and a life ended too soon. Her family continues to remember her through cherished memories, holding onto the dreams she had for a future that will never come.
As the investigation proceeds, the family remains grateful for the community’s support, which has been a source of comfort in their time of grief. Alina’s legacy will live on through the lives she touched during her short time in the U.S.
