After a 24-year-old pregnant woman was killed in a suspected DUI crash<\/a> in Anaheim over the weekend, her family said Monday that it’s devastated by her death and the death of her unborn baby.<\/p>\n

Bianca Esquivel’s sister, Viri, said that the expectant mom and her boyfriend were returning home from an In-N-Out to satisfy her late-night craving when they were struck by a suspected DUI driver. <\/p>\n

“We weren\u2019t expecting to lose Bianca at such an early age,” the grief-stricken sister said while crying. “The baby that was in her womb didn\u2019t have the opportunity\u00a0to even come to life. That person took that opportunity from that little angel.”<\/p>\n

Daniel Ramos, 24, of Riverside, was arrested for felony driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter after police noticed “objective signs and symptoms of impairment” at the crash site.<\/p>\n

While speaking to the media, the victim’s sister held a tiny pair of shoes that Esquivel had bought for her unborn baby ahead of a planned gender reveal party.<\/p>\n

Police said the crash happened at around 12:10 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of North Anaheim Boulevard and state Route 91 when a Lexus sedan, driven by Ramos, ran a red light and plowed into a Toyota sedan driven by Equivel’s boyfriend, Oscar.<\/p>\n

The dead woman’s boyfriend was awaiting surgery for a broken arm, the sister said. <\/p>\n

The couple also has a 4-year-old boy, who keep asking for his mom.<\/p>\n

“My sister was very excited for that second child,” Viri Esquivel said. “She leaves behind a 4-year-old, and I personally don\u2019t know how to answer where\u2019s my mommy because his mommy isn\u2019t coming back.”<\/p>\n

Police said the suspected DUI driver could face additional charges because the victim was pregnant. <\/p>\n

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has information related to it was encouraged to call the\u00a0Anaheim\u00a0Police Department at 714-765-1900.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a 24-year-old pregnant woman was killed in a suspected DUI crash in Anaheim over the weekend, her…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":545597,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,72994,2961,224,5337],"class_list":["post-545596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-fullerton","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115964172303452869","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545596","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=545596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/545597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=545596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=545596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=545596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
