A 5-year-old boy is brain dead after a Santa Ana DUI driver crashed into a family on bikes

When Ceferino Ascencion Ramos, of Santa Ana , slammed his vehicle into a family riding bikes in Garden Grove, he ruined their lives forever.

One of the victims, 5-year-old Jacob Ramirez, has been declared to be brain dead. His family has started a GoFundMe page to help the family to get over the trauma after this horrible incident. They have already raised over $50K.

Ramos was behind the wheel of a  2003 Toyota Camry when he crashed into the family on Sunday night.

The mother and father had been riding with the children in bike trailers shortly after 7:30 p.m. at the 12300 block of Haster Street at Twin Tree Lane when the collision occurred, according to the Garden Grove police.

Angel Ramirez, 27, and two children — 5-year-old Jacob and a 7-year-old sister, Gianna — were rushed to hospitals in critical condition. Angela Hernandez Mejia, 25, the mother, and her daughter Gianna were hospitalized with stable vital signs and the mother was later released.

Ramos was charged with hit-and-run with permanent and serious injury, failing to stop at a hit-and-run accident with injury, and driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury, all felonies. He also faces sentencing enhancements for leaving a victim comatose or paralyzed and inflicting great bodily injury, according to the OCDA.

The Prosecutors allege that Ramos got into his car in Santa Ana to drive to a liquor store in Anaheim to buy more beer. He is accused of having a blood-alcohol level of .22 after the incident.

Ramos was in court on Tueday but he did not enter a plea. He is scheduled to be arraigned on July 25 at the West Justice Center in Westminster.
