Fentanyl overdoses continue to be a growing problem in Riverside County.
“Over time, and they just seem to be increasing year over year. I think we’re looking at probably four to 500 deaths this year. It looks like I think is what we’re on pace for,” said John Hall, Public Information Officer for the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.
Riverside County sees a growing number of fentanyl-related deaths and overdoses each year.
The county is reporting that at least 79 people have died from January to March of this year. Most of these deaths are considered unintentional.
