According to the preliminary investigation by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Serene allegedly “made a turn against a red light in front of a Ford Transit van, which was traveling east on the same road.”

The van driver was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, but was not in life-threatening condition. The impact of the collision was so severe that it killed the passenger instantly.

Serene is the CEO of OCMBC LoanStream Mortgage, a mortgage company, and had three prior convictions. She was placed on administrative leave and replaced as president, according to a statement from OCMBC.

“This has been a difficult time for everyone affected by this tragic event, and our hearts are with those impacted,” said Rabi Aziz, CEO of OCMBC.
