A 22-year-old woman has died after the car she was traveling in plowed through a fence and crashed into a swimming pool last Monday.
Ashley Garcia was in a critical condition an Escondido, California hospital, after suffering serious injury when she became trapped by her seat belt in the ill-fated car, being driven by a male friend.
She never woke up after the crash and on Saturday her parents made the excruciating decision to take her off life support at the Palomar Medical Centre.
The driver, Robert Aaron Anderson, got out of the car almost immediately after he lost control, crashing it through a fence and into the pool. But Garcia was unable to escape the Kia Rio fast enough, which sunk upside down.
Speaking for the first time since the tragedy, Garcia’s mother, Kara Laxson, said on Sunday: ‘We cannot express how thankful we are for everyone's prayers, love and support.
‘Everyone in this community has just been amazing.
Laxon told the news site that her daughter’s organs will be donated to help others.
