This Georgia family, Thomas Garza 23, his fiance Lillian Luna 20, and their one year old baby, Brianna decided to take a last minute trip to Disney World to celebrate Brianna’s first birthday.
Sadly, they were killed when their Nissan Maxima was hit from behind by a Mercedes SUV in Lake County. Both cars flipped and ended up catching fire. Brianna was ejected from the car and died at Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital in Orlando.
“They were hoping to give her a huge birthday for the big No. 1, and they knew this weekend they’d have time to spend together,” said Luna’s sister, Elataly Luna. “It’s just so sad.”
James Dameron 24, was the driver of the Mercedes. He only suffered minor injuries and was transported to South Lake Hospital in Clermont.
His drivers license was suspended Sept. 1. Records show he has been charged with possession of methamphetamine and resisting an officer without violence. Not to mention charges for unlawful speed, texting while driving, and littering on a public highway.
Charges are pending and so far the investigation shows that Dameron was traveling faster than the Garza family.
