A tragic suspected DUI crash in Anaheim early Sunday morning claimed the lives of a 24-year-old pregnant woman and her unborn child. The victim, identified by her family as Bianca Esquivel, was expecting her second child at the time of the collision. According to authorities, the crash occurred after a suspected intoxicated driver allegedly ran a red light and violently struck the couple’s vehicle. Bianca and her boyfriend had just left a local restaurant and were heading home when their lives were forever changed.
Her boyfriend, who survived the crash and is currently recovering from his injuries, described the moments before impact as joyful and ordinary. In an instant, that happiness turned into devastation. Police arrested 24-year-old Daniel Ramos of Riverside on suspicion of felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter. Because Bianca was pregnant, investigators have indicated that additional charges may be considered as the case moves forward.
Family members rushed to the scene after receiving an automatic crash alert through Bianca’s phone emergency system. Loved ones described her as family-oriented, ambitious, and excited to welcome her second child. She leaves behind a grieving partner and a 4-year-old son who must now grow up without his mother.
