New heartbreaking details have been revealed about a deadly crash that happened in Moorparklast Saturday. Investigators said a speeding driver lost control and slammed into a car, killing a 42-year-old single mother and seriously injuring her little girl.
KTLA spoke with Anabel Zamora’s employers in Panorama City on Thursday.
Those who worked with her said she dedicated more than a decade to climbing the corporate ladder and realizing the American Dream to take care of her daughter.
She lived for her child and died at the little girl’s side, in a senseless and catastrophic head-on collision.
It happened on Saturday, Feb. 28 on northbound State Route 23, near the 118, in Moorpark.
The California Highway Patrol said the driver of a Chevy Silverado pickup truck was heading southbound, speeding in the center median to apparently beat traffic.
He lost control, hit an embankment and sailed over a guardrail onto the northbound side, smashing head-on into a car driven by Zamora, killing her instantly.
Her sister, in the front passenger seat, was mostly unharmed. However, Zamora’s 10-year-old daughter, Caroline, sitting in the back seat, suffered severe injuries.
A female passenger in the pickup truck also died at the scene.
A CHP spokesperson told KTLA that the 21-year-old man responsible for the crash suffered moderate injuries. Impairment does not appear to be a factor in the crash. However, charges are pending.
Days later, KTLA is learning more about the single mother, described as “irreplaceable” by her employers at a towing service in Panorama City.
“It’s very difficult to deal with,” said Zamora’s employer, Michael Farhood. “But we gotta go on, every single day. I guess one thing that we know, you know, is not every day is promised. Sorry, just taking about it just gets me a little choked up.”
The company owners allowed KTLA a look at Zamora’s desk – now covered in flowers.
They describe her as having been dedicated, loyal, firm but fair, rising from a minimum-wage, entry-level employee to a managerial position within 13 years, sometimes bringing her beloved Caroline to the office and was always a devoted mother.
Caroline has a long road to recovery.
“She had four cracked ribs, or broken ribs, I should say… had her spleen removed, it was crushed. She had part of her pancreas removed and part of her intestines removed, so pretty serious stuff,” said employer Adam Saltzman. “Hard to believe, given what we saw of what was left of the car. It’s pretty shocking.”
A GiveSendGo crowd-funding campaign has been created with a goal of $100,000 to help Zamora’s daughter through this ordeal with physical and emotional support.
