Inland Empire Mom's 3 Children Struck, Killed By Driver: CHP

BLOOMINGTON, CA -- A fundraiser was underway Monday after a California couple lost their three children who were struck and killed by a driver. Police said a driver in a red Dodge Challenger struck a family Sunday night, killing the three children of Maria Luna and Jose Angel Jauregui: Angel, 20, Jose Manuel, 17, and Andrea, 13.

Maria Luna was also at the scene and and suffered injuries from the crash that happened on Slover Avenue near Locust Avenue in Bloomington.

The driver, Leonardo Bravo, 19, stayed at the scene of the incident, and that drugs or alcohol were not considered a factor. It's unclear how Bravo lost control of his vehicle before slamming into the family, police said.

Following the incident, loved ones took it to GoFundMe to ask the public for support in helping the family cope with the loss.

"Angel was going to be a junior in the computer engineering program at Cal Poly Pomona, his younger brother Jose Manuel wanted to follow in his footsteps, and their sister Andrea was set to start high school," the GoFundMe page said. "We are pleading with family, friends, and the public to help this family during this horribly tragic event in their lives."

The GoFundMe page, which set the goal at $25,000, asked for donations to help pay for funeral arrangements.

"Please help. Please donate. Please share this with everyone you know," the page said.
