A mother has been arrested after her two children were killed running onto a busy California highway to chase luggage that had fallen off their car.
Sandra Ortiz’s kids, a 10-year-old boy and 16-year-old girl, were struck by a car going at full speed on the Route 78 Freeway in Vista, near San Diego, on Sunday at about 6 p.m., KGTV reported.
The children, who haven’t been identified publicly, had jumped out of their 33-year-old mom’s green GMC Yukon SUV when she pulled onto the righthand shoulder.
They were trying to retrieve the suitcase that had flown off their car when they were both hit by a white Nissan Sentra.
Meanwhile, the mom — who stayed in the car as her children ran to the highway traffic — was arrested for a DUI, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and child endangerment.
This mom should never get out of prison, absolutely horrible. We also don’t know how much time the person who hit them had to react so to judge them is kind of unfair. Whoever was driving that vehicle will have to live with that and that is horrible, all because their mom was a drunk who didn’t give a s**t.
what about the one that did the hitting. Were they blind, or just stupid?
Every have someone or something run into the path of your car?
When you’re going highway speed, or faster, hitting a person or animal is almost a sure thing.
Blind – no. Stupid – maybe. Speeding – definitely.
