'I miss him every day. I stay up at night thinking he's going to come home,' Ceila Paz said of her eldest son, Adrian.
A 19-year-old who was struck in a violent car crash in Compton on Father's Day has died, and now his family is searching for answers.
She last saw Adrian conscious on June 19, when the family gathered for a Father's Day barbecue and a surprise early birthday party for Paz. "He gave me a gift and I remember telling him it's not my birthday. He said, 'I know, mom, but we're celebrating it today and there's more coming,'" she said. At around 4:30 p.m., though, she got a call from her son's friend saying that Adrian was in bad shape after he was involved in a car crash on the corner of East Alondra Boulevard and South Pearl Avenue in Compton. The driver, the 19-year-old's longtime friend, admits he was speeding, but said that he was hit by a lifted truck, which spun him around. The driver and front seat passenger survived, but Adrian was rushed to the hospital and placed in a coma. Three days later, he died.
