Mother of Five Dies during DUI Accident

A mother leaves behind five children after becoming involved in a drunk driving accident.

California Highway Patrol believe that alcohol was a factor in the accident that caused Virginia Esparza, 34, to lose control of her vehicle on Highway 119 while leaving a hit-and-run accident. She was a single mom whose children are devastated by their loss. The oldest and only daughter, 18-year-old Crystal Martinez, will have to fend for her family now that their mother is gone. An account will be set up for the children by the Esparza family at the Kern Schools Federal Credit Union in their behalf.

Esparza was on her way to pick up her boyfriend and, although police believe alcohol to be involved, her family is claiming that she was not a very frequent drinker and that this entire event seems out of character for her. Her boyfriend was a passenger in the car at that time and remains in the hospital in a coma at this time.
