FRESNO (CBS/AP) — A Fresno-area father watched his four children and their mother perish in a fiery crash and was injured as he tried to rescue them from the burning vehicle.
The crash occurred after 7 p.m. Saturday when a 2004 Nissan Quest minivan ran a stop sign and hit the 29-year-old woman and her four children — boys ages 1 and 3 and girls ages 6 and 11 — riding in a 2003 Ford Expedition SUV at an intersection in Fresno County, California Highway Patrol Officer Axel Reyes said. Within minutes, the SUV was engulfed in flames.
The woman’s husband, driving a quarter mile behind the SUV, saw the vehicle burst into flames and tried unsuccessfully to free his family from the vehicle, including breaking the windows, Reyes said. He received minor burns to his hands. His wife and four children died at the scene.
The minivan’s driver, 41-year-old Juana Martinez Bejarano, was hospitalized for major injuries. CHP officers and fire officials are investigating the crash and the fire.

I own a Lincoln navigator, essentially a gussied up Expedition. Be the vehicle a Navigator or Expedition, the vehicle is pretty much a tank, meaning the perp had to hit the victim awfully hard and had to be really reckless to do that much damage.
The killer is a female, and illegals get reduced sentences, so the father should have exacted justice at the scene. No jury on Earth would convict him.
I would be in jail for murder.
The sex change conclusion is prejudiced, the illegal alien conclusion is post-judicial.
There's a difference.
They’d have to put me on suicide watch for the rest of my life.
It isn't myself I would be thinking of offing.
I know democrats that actually think that way . It ain’t sarcasm sad to say.
You’re right, sarcasm on my part, firm beliefs on the part of National Socialist Democrats.
It's as if they believe they are above the law.
This woman is unlikely to serve more than two years in jail, if that.
If she has dependent children, no more than 30 days.
“...the Fresno County community, where it’s impossible to not routinely bump into people one knows, Hadden said”
Considering the circumstances of the crash, what a strangely insensitive thing to say.

Oh. OK. Thanks.
Investigators are also looking at whether Bejarano was on medication at the time of the accident, Reyes said. Her medical history indicates that may be a possibility, he said.
