HEMET, Calif. — A family is mourning a 29-year-old mother of three, who died along with her unborn child after colliding head-on with a suspected DUI driver over the weekend.
Krystil Kincaid was driving her Chrysler minivan north on Warren Road about 8:30 p.m. Sunday when a BMW heading southbound veered into her lane and struck her between Devonshire and Esplanade paths in the Southern California town of Hemet, according to Hemet police.
Krystil Kincaid is seen in a photograph posted to her Facebook page on Nov. 23, 2016.
The blue BMW had been driving at a high rate of speed, investigators said.Officials who responded to 911 reports of the crash discovered the silver van was partly on fire. After firefighters put out the flames, first responders had to extricate Kincaid — who was eight months pregnant — from her car, police said.
The two Kincaid’s legs had become pinned underneath her dashboard as a result of extensive damage her car sustained, according to a GoFundMe page made to raise funds for her memorial expenses.
He said he could hear her scream before impact, then the noise of metal and firefighters using the jaws of life as they tried to pull her out of the wreckage. It is a memory that will haunt him, he said.Krystil was flown by helicopter to a nearby trauma center, and officials had originally said she was expected to survive.
But based on Zach, she and her unborn child were legally dead as of Tuesday. Krystil stayed on a breathing apparatus only so that her organs could be harvested for donation, he said.She leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter, two sons, ages 4 and 8, and a 14-year-old stepchild.
“I told my 2 daughters and my two sons that a drunk driver killed their mother,” he wrote. “The pain and anger I feel within my soul is immeasurable, my heart is broken. In an interview with KTLA, he said the children had gone to the hospital hoping to welcome a new relative.”They believed they had a baby sister here,” Zach said. “They got the worst news of their life. They were told that they don’t have a mom, or a baby sister, anymore.”
Police said they discovered the BMW driver, identified as 28-year-old Burbank resident Marcos Forestal, walking near his wrecked car.
Forestal, a native of Cuba, is the reigning World Boxing Federation International Super Bantamweight champion.Marcos Forestal is seen in a booking photo released by the Hemet Police Department on Sept. 11, 2018.Based on El Nuevo Herald, a Spanish-language paper in southeast Florida, Forestal livestreamed the wake of the crash as first responders were coming.
“Men a car looked and I had an accident,” the man identified as Forestal is heard saying as he videos the mangled remains of his BMW. A car came out in front of me and look and what happened to my car.”
Forestal showed signs of alcohol intoxication and was detained on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and causing a crash which resulted in major injuries, officials said.
Forestal has been held on $75,000 bail, based on inmate records.The boxer’s manager, Christina Carrillo in JAB Management, said in a statement emailed to KTLA:”I want to extend my deepest condolences to those who have lost their loved ones in this horrible tragedy. At this time, we are cooperating fully with the continuing investigation.”
As of Tuesday night, Kincaid’s GoFundMe campaign had raised more than $18,000 of its $20,000 goal.
