Jessica Marie Zamora killed a boy in head-on crash in San Jose on Christmas Day

SAN JOSE — A suspected drunken driver, Jessica Marie Zamora, was already wanted for DUI warrant when she killed self and boy in crash, when she caused a head-on crash Christmas morning that killed her and a teen boy riding in another car with his family, authorities said.

Before she got behind the wheel for that fateful drive, she was reportedly seen having a couple of drinks at a nearby bar. She didn’t make it a half-mile before she careened downhill over the center median separating the wide and fast-moving traffic on Capitol Expressway.

On Wednesday, the coroner’s office formally identified 14-year-old San Jose resident Andrew Nguyen as the second victim of the collision. He was riding with his parents in an eastbound silver 2004 Lexus on Capitol near Snell Avenue when around 12:28 a.m., an oncoming 2012 Chevy Malibu reportedly crossed over into their lanes and hit them head-on, police said.   MORE

Zamora’s family turns their DUI killer daughter into a fundraiser; hit with backlash on social media from people furious over effort

From San Franciso Examiner

Zamora’s friends and family have posted numerous messages of grief and mourning since the crash and started a GoFundMe page to raise money to support her 5-year-old daughter.

But in addition to raising $2,759 as of this morning, the family has had to contend with insulting messages left on the page blaming Zamora and even her parents for the crash.

The fundraiser can be found at https://www.gofundme.com/33ecyc0.

I’m so sorry for this tragic loss. It would help if the Nguyen family could suggest a charity to donate to in honor of their son. Thank you

So so sorry for your loss. Is there a reason why your fundrasier isn’t active? What if people want to donate? I have set up two other YouCaring campaigns and can help you work the platform if you need any help there. My condolences.
