Three Californian sisters and their grandfather were killed Sunday during a vacation in Guatemala, authorities said.
The siblings, aged from 18 to 21, left their Van Nuys residence to visit their grandparents in Guatemala where tragedy struck.
“My daughters Natalie, Katherine, Tiffany and my father Luis Vazquez were taken from me in a car accident involving a semi-truck,” the girls’ mother Maggie Vazquez said.
“I am truly devastated and mourning the loss of the ones closest to me being taken away so suddenly. My youngest daughter just finished high school and was on her way to university along with her other sisters and both had such promising futures.”
“My daughters were loved by everyone, they treated everyone with respect as if they were their own family. I know are in a better place and I am grateful to know my father is with them watching over them just how he has watched over me.”
The family is raising money to pay for the young sisters’ funeral. Vazquez said that the “person involved was eventually arrested.”
