GoFundMe created for family of man who died after being hit by a vehicle in Imperial

IMPERIAL, Calif. (KYMA) - A GoFundMe has been created for the family of the man who died after being hit by a vehicle in Imperial last week.

41-year-old Ruben Camargo was traveling southbound on State Route 86, north of Aten Road, after 12:30 a.m. Thursday, March 19, 2026, in Imperial when he was hit by a GMC Sierra.

After the Imperial Police Department (IPD) arrived on scene, they, along with the Imperial County Fire Department, performed life-saving measures before Camargo was taken to El Centro Regional Medical Center, but he was later flown to UC San Diego Hillcrest Medical Center, where he later died.

According to IPD, the driver of the GMC remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation, and says impairment did not factor in the crash.

The GoFundMe was created to help ease Camargo's family with the "financial burden of arranging funeral services" to honor his memory.

The GoFundMe has a goal of $7,000, with over $5,500 raised so far. If anyone would like to donate to the GoFundMe, click here.
