Article Last Updated: 7/05/2005 05:29 PM Road rage incident injures children By Felisa Cardona Denver Post Staff Writer DenverPost.com Denver - A mother of three was declared brain dead after a road-rage accident that occurred early this morning as her family headed home from a Fourth of July celebration.

Alicia Arana, 26, was thrown from a pickup truck driven by her common-law husband, Jesus Manuel Cruz Sr., 28.

Family members say the driver of a silver Dodge Intrepid forced the family into oncoming traffic.

Police say both drivers collided, sending both vehicles spinning out of control and the pick-up truck into oncoming traffic.

"I was called early this morning and told that my sister was in a car accident and that basically she had no chance to live," said Arana's sister, Melissa Arana. "I rushed to the hospital and when I got there, the doctors confirmed that she had no chance of living."

Melissa Arana said she will keep her sister on life support until her father can come from Mexico to say goodbye.

"At any point, her organs could fail," Arana said.

Cruz was injured and so were the children, Savannah Cruz, 9, Sierra Cruz, 7, and Jesus Manuel Cruz Jr., 5.

The accident occurred about 12:43 a.m. near Sheridan Boulevard and West Cedar Avenue.

Jesus Manuel Cruz Sr. was driving the 1979 Chevrolet pickup when he rear-ended the Intrepid as the two vehicles traveled north on Federal Boulevard at Morrison Road, police and family members said.

Melissa Arana said Cruz was drinking before the accident.

The incident began because the two drivers were revving their engines at the red light to show off, said Cruz's brother, Gene Cruz.

"When the light turned green, my brother also peeled out and the gray car, from what I could think, stopped real quick and had to swerve into the right lane and my brother bumped his bumper," Gene Cruz said.

Police say Cruz did not stop his pickup after the accident.

Gene Cruz said that's because his brother was scared for the safety of the children when the driver of the Intrepid got angry and began throwing beer bottles at the pickup truck.

"My brother lost his wife and his children's mother," Gene Cruz said. "He does feel guilty and blames himself because of the poor decisions that he made and not having seat belts in the car."

The driver of the Intrepid chased Cruz and pulled up along side him, forcing him into oncoming traffic, Gene Cruz said.

Cruz was struck by a large SUV and the force of the impact threw his wife and children out of the truck.

The driver of the Intrepid left the scene, police said. The SUV's driver also took off, Gene Cruz said.

Gene Cruz said police told him that they found the Intrepid a few blocks away from the accident, but the driver was gone. The SUV was not registered which may be why the driver of that vehicle also took off, he said.

Jesus Manuel Cruz Sr. hit his head on the back window of the truck and had five staples in his head and broke his shoulder.

His wife was thrown from the truck and struck her head.

Sierra and Jesus Manuel Jr. fractured their skulls, but doctors at Children's Hospital told the family they will recover. The boy had fluid in his lungs.

The family wants anyone with information about the drivers who left the scene to come forward and call the Denver Police Department at (720) 913-2000.

"My brother went an hour ago to Children's Hospital to tell the kids what happened to their mother," Gene Cruz said.

As more Hispanics, Indians, Chinese, and other Third World "Americans" fill up America's roadways, the more dangerous driving becomes and road rage increases exponentially. It's as simple as that. I'm not saying that all Whites are considerate or cautious drivers, but the large majority of A-holes I see on the interstates, highways, or city streets, are non-Whites.

Calling this man an A-hole would be an insult to all the other A-holes out there.

The problem with multiculturalism is that it creates the conditions that make a totalitarian government necessary. Racism is a function of multiculturalism. A kind man of another race does not change any of this.

This doesn't look good, Excelsis. I sincerely enjoy reading your posts, but only those you write during the daytime. Catch my drift?

C'mon, man... let's get this thing licked.

yes typos are a dead give away for intoxication. I was just making a point, and I believe I accomplished that. There is good and bad in everyone. I been beat up by niggers and I also have been helped by nigger in time of need. How can you justify this racist crap anymore. Everyone is an individual who makes a conscious decision. You could be drowning in a lake, and if a black or spik hand was given to you, falling off the edge of a skyscaper, you would take it and call that man your brother. I am sick of whites who think that just because they are white they are better.
