A family in a funeral procession suffered another tragedy, losing their matriarch in a horrific car crash
One of the victims of a head-on crash in Sorrento Valley last week has died, her family said, days after the collision in which a speeding driver crossed into oncoming traffic and hit her SUV that was part of a funeral procession.
Lange was one of five people traveling in an SUV that was part of a funeral procession just before 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 2 in the 6000 block of Carroll Road. San Diego police say the driver of a white sedan was speeding and lost control, drifting over the line and hitting the SUV carrying Lange, her two daughters and their husbands.All five, and the driver of the sedan, had to be extricated and were taken to area hospitals with serious injuries.
“I just saw a white car coming around the corner and it was going very fast,” Weinmann said. “I said, ‘Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, that car is not going to stop. And it's not turning. It has to turn.’ And I saw it, and all of a sudden I thought: 'It's going to hit one of us. I'm not sure who it's going to hit, but it's going to hit one of us.' ”Weinmann said Lange was “the life of the party” and “a little fireball” who loved to dance and always made her family laugh.
Gomez and his wife came to San Diego from their home in the Bay Area to care for her parents once they found out about the crash.
