A drunken driver struck his family’s car on the way home from a Christmas party, perishing his mother, father, and five-year-old sister, leaving a young boy in Texas orphaned.

Around two in the morning on Saturday, December 20, the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office reports that the young family of four was on Highway 99 in Fort Bend County, Texas, when their car was brutally hit head-on by an inebriated driver traveling the wrong way.

According to police, 27-year-old teacher Lizbeth Rodriguez Contreras and her five-year-old daughter Camila Pena passed away at the scene.

The 3-year-old boy, identified by family members as Dieguito, and his father, Diego Pena Jr., 26, were taken to the hospital by ambulance, but the father passed away from his wounds.

Police and distraught family members reported that Dieguito, a “sweet and innocent boy,” was still in critical but stable condition at the hospital as of Christmas Eve.

“In an instant, Dieguito lost the people who loved him, protected him, and were his entire world. He is currently receiving medical care, will undergo surgeries and continues to fight through recovery,” heartbroken family members wrote in a GoFundMe campaign raising money for the now-parentless toddler.

“While he is surrounded by family who love him deeply, the emotional and financial weight of this loss is overwhelming for all of the family. No family should ever have to plan funerals for three loved ones while also worrying about the medical care and future of a surviving child.”

The driver of the other vehicle, 27-year-old Majesti Faith Lee, was transported to a hospital by Life Flight and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
