An Altamonte Springs, Fla. woman who was involved in a deadly crash that took the life of her husband and son cannot remember the incident, say police.
Ivelisse S. Martinez, 27, is one of two survivors of a deadly two-vehicle crash on Oct. 16 that killed her husband, Jose L. Vargas Rosario, 35, and son, Brayden O. Vargas, 1.
According to WESH News, Cynthia Guthrie, 75, was approaching an intersection when she forgot to apply her brakes and slammed into the family’s car.
When relatives of Martinez and Altamonte Springs police broke the tragic news to the mother on Wednesday, she claimed she didn’t remember the event.
“She was informed of the passing of her husband and her son – she does not remember the crash and at that time, didn’t remember the family members either,” told Lt. Rob Pelton of the Altamonte Springs police department to WESH.
All relatives of Martinez can do now is wait and hope that her memory returns, which is likely said one Florida EMS director.
“It’s likely she’s had head trauma. That’s the most common reason for someone to have amnesia would be head trauma. But physiological trauma can do that too,” he also said.
Police continue to investigate. No charges have been laid.
