SAN ANTONIO, Tx \u2014 A vigil was held on Tuesday night remembering a woman who was killed while crossing the road with a toddler on the Southeast Side.<\/p>\n
33-year-old Jeanette Espitia was struck by vehicle after she stepped off the city bus Thursday leaving behind three children and a grieving family.<\/p>\n
Espitia was struck by a drive on Southeast Military Drive and Old Corpus Christi Highway. She was crossing the road with her one-year-old when the accident happened. Her daughter was not injured. Witnesses say Jeannette pushed her daughter to safety before the car hit her. Her husband Efrain Ramirez says she was eight months pregnant with their unborn child who would\u2019ve been named Jay-Jay.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t really believe it,\u201d Ramirez, said. \u201cI kept calling and texting her like please answer the phone. Please don\u2019t let this be real. She never answered me back. I had just finished talking to her before she got on the bus.\u201d<\/p>\n
The driver who hit Espitia stopped to help and has not been charged. Espitia\u2019s family says funeral arrangements will be announced at another time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO, Tx \u2014 A vigil was held on Tuesday night remembering a woman who was killed while…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":178791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,245,101188,97064,85611,101008,7202,7203,46082,358,67191,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,37263],"class_list":{"0":"post-178790","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-children","10":"tag-efrain-ramirez","11":"tag-jeanette-espitia","12":"tag-pregnant","13":"tag-road-accident","14":"tag-san-antonio","15":"tag-sanantonio","16":"tag-southeast-side","17":"tag-texas","18":"tag-toddler","19":"tag-tx","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-united-states-of-america","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","24":"tag-us","25":"tag-usa","26":"tag-vigil"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
