Alexandra Drake Identified as Mother Killed in Ramona Street Racing Car Accident
Yesterday we posted this article about a Ramona car accident that was caused by two racing cars. Alexandra Drake was taken to Palomar Hospital after the auto accident where she fought for her life until she passed away. The 25-year-old mother left her 4 week baby, Jayden, behind. Jayden survived the crash without any serious injuries thanks to Drake's responsible care of correctly securing Jayden in a child's seat. You can read more about this car crash and Drake's tragic death in this 10news.com story.
Alexandra Drake's mother saw the auto accident from her rear view mirror as she drove in front of Drake at the time of the crash. Yesterday, we wrote that a gold Jaguar was racing a white Mercedes. However, a California Highway Patrol spokesperson has since confirmed that the Mercedes was actually a BMW. California Highway Patrol officials are still looking for information about the car wreck and are searching for the driver of the BMW. If you have any information, please contact them.
Our hears go out to Alexandra's son and mother. They have our sympathy and we will never quite understand the level of their loss. It is simply too great to comprehend.
From a legal standpoint, both have legal claims for compensation. Jayden for the wrongful death of his mother, Alexandra's mother for intentional infliction of emotional distress since she was a bystander and witnessed Alexandra suffer the fatal car crash. But legal compensation, although intended to balance the harm they have suffered, will never be adequate.
We hope that the California Highway Patrol can locate the BMW driver so that both street racing drivers can be prosecuted for vehicular manslaughter.
