The accident happened at the intersection of Yucaipa Boulevard and 16th Street in Yucaipa, near San Bernardino. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
Brino made his acting debut in the television series, 7th Heaven, as one of the quadruplets that rotated playing the Camden’s infant twin sons Sam and David. Eventually, Lorenzo and Nikolas would be the names associated with the twins and would appear in 138 episodes. They were present during seasons 3 through 11, until the show ended in 2007.
The show is the last acting role that is associated with either of the Brinos. Lorenzo stepped away from the acting spotlight indefinitely after the show ended.
Friends and family spoke of the actor as having a good heart and being a loyal friend. Multiple tributes have begun to show up online for the child star. It is unclear why there was almost a week wait in reporting his death to the public.
The accident is currently being investigated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s office. They have not released any intel on what may have caused the accident.
