A flower delivery van struck a passenger vehicle on Sunday morning, killing a family of
five. The fatal crash happened at around 7:00 a.m. on Main Street and Balsam
Avenue in Hesperia, California. Law enforcement officials say the family was in
a Honda stopped at a stop sign when the delivery van slammed into them. The
impact caused the van to roll over and land on top of the passenger vehicle.
The van’s driver, who sustained minor injuries, told officials that he
"looked away for a second" prior to the crash.
Angelica
Garcia and Gerardo Jimenez – along with their children Freddie, Cynthia and
Ivan – were all killed in the accident. The family was on their way to visit
Disneyland to celebrate Cynthia's birthday. She would have turned five on
Monday.
According
to the Daily News, no charges have been filed against the flower delivery van
driver. An investigation is underway.
