Famous Singer killed in horror crash just a day after her birthday

On the M-80 near Pelluhe, a storm ended the life of Ivana Pino Arellano, known as “La Rancherita de Chanco,” just as her future was opening. She left behind four children, a town in mourning, and a voice that had become part of everyday life. In Chanco, candles, quiet radios, and broken songs marked the loss—not of a celebrity, but of a neighbor whose music carried shared love and memory beyond the accident that took her.
