A West Palm Beach car accident involving a chain-reaction crash leaves a 3-month-old dead and five others injured. The incident took place on Saturday afternoon, January 30, 2010, on Forest Hill Boulevard near Kudza Road.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Yanitza Gonzalez, 27, of West Palm Beach, was driving westbound in a 1999 Honda when she was rear-ended by a 2010 Honda. The baby, 3-month-old Yanley Gonzalez, was a passenger in the Honda.
Rescue workers transported Yanley to Delray Medical Center. Unfortunately, the 3-month-old was pronounced dead due to injuries sustained in the accident.
Yanitza Gonzales and another passenger in the Honda were also taken to Delray Medical Center. They were listed in satisfactory condition, according to a hospital official.
The driver that rear-ended Gonzalez has been identified as Jason F. Brown, 30, of Middletown. Brown was also transported to Delray Medical Center where he was treated for serious injuries.
The force of the impact pushed Gonzalez’s car into a 1995 Mitsubishi driven by Jose Ramos, 38, of West Palm Beach. Ramos and 2-year-old Maria Carmona were both taken to Wellington Regional Medical Center and treated for injuries.
The fatal West Palm Beach accident is still under investigation by local authorities. According to sheriff’s deputies, drugs and alcohol may have played a role in the crash.
This is a horrific accident and our thoughts and condolences go out to all those who have been affected by it.
