They were on their way to Guzman\u2019s mother\u2019s house, but never made it.<\/p>\n<p>Villarruel\u2019s mother and aunt died at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was as if I had two moms,\u201d Villarruel said in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators arrested Cira Quinones-Lewis, a driver in another vehicle involved in the crash. She remains in ICE custody on an immigration hold and is charged with driving while her license was suspended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like justice. We don\u2019t know much about what\u2019s going on. We would like some justice,\u201d Guzman said.<\/p>\n<p>The family says photos and videos taken about 30 minutes before the crash are now all Villarruel has left to remember her mother and aunt.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=404\">Evidence points to human remains at home linked to Kristin Smart\u2019s killing, sheriff says<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were exceptional women,\u201d Villarruel said. \u201cMy aunt was a teacher in Ecuador.

My mom, the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the family waits for answers and for the investigation to continue, their focus remains on Nina.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust prayers. We can\u2019t do nothing about the deceased, but we need all the prayers for the baby, for Nina,\u201d Guzman said. \u201cWe need her. We need a miracle. My baby is very critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Villarruel said Nina remains in very critical condition.<\/p>\n<p>The tragedy has been even more difficult for the family because Villarruel\u2019s mother and aunt had been visiting for a month to help care for Nina while Villarruel recovered from thyroid cancer surgery.<\/p>\n<p>The family has started a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs and Nina\u2019s medical expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=403\">Lauderdale Lakes home sustains significant damage in fire<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Latest headlines from:<\/div>\n<div>\nMiami-Dade<br \/>\nBroward<br \/>\nFlorida Keys<\/p>\n<details>\n<summary><span>Cities<\/span><span>\u25be<\/span><\/summary>\n<div>\n<div>\nMiami<br \/>\nFort Lauderdale<br \/>\nCoral Springs<br \/>\nDavie<br \/>\nDeerfield Beach<br \/>\nDoral<br \/>\nHialeah<br \/>\nHollywood<br \/>\nHomestead<br \/>\nLauderhill<br \/>\nMiami Beach<br \/>\nMiami Gardens<br \/>\nMiramar<br \/>\nPembroke Pines<br \/>\nPlantation<br \/>\nPompano Beach<br \/>\nSunrise<br \/>\nTamarac\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monica Villarruel and Felipe Guzman say they need a miracle for their little girl, Nina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":407,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
