On Sunday, Jan. 5, 24-year-old Bianca Esquival and her unborn child were killed in a collision with a drunk driver. The crash was reported at 12:09 a.m. at North Anaheim Boulevard and the 91 Freeway frontage road.
In a press release, it is reported that the suspect, 24-year-old Daniel Ramos, ran a red light before colliding with Esquival’s vehicle. Ramos failed a field sobriety test upon police arrival and was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence (DUI). Esquival was found in the wreckage and pronounced dead on the scene.
Anderson stated that due to the victim being pregnant, prosecutors may consider additional charges pending investigation. Esquival’s boyfriend, who was driving at the time, as well as the two passengers riding in Ramos’ vehicle, were hospitalized but are expected to survive.
