Suspected DUI Crash in Colorado Kills Unborn Baby, Injures Pregnant Woman
Aurora, Colorado — A devastating crash involving a suspected impaired driver has left a pregnant woman seriously injured and claimed the life of her unborn child, police confirmed today.
Erubey Zunon Roblero and his wife, Jacqueline Roblero, were driving through the intersection of East Sixth Avenue and Potomac Street when a white van, driven erratically by Chad Gow, 34, slammed into their vehicle on Monday. The impact was severe enough to force the Robleros’ car off the road and cause life-changing injuries.
Erubey Roblero described the crash as a sudden, jarring hit from the right side. His wife Jacqueline, who was five months pregnant, was trapped between the door and the seat following the collision. Initially, doctors believed their unborn baby boy showed no signs of distress, offering a brief ray of hope amidst the chaos.
“You can’t explain how you feel in that moment. It’s a lot of despair,”
Roblero said, recalling the moments after the collision.
Tragically, the situation worsened the next day when medical staff informed the Robleros that the unborn child no longer had vital signs, devastating the family. Jacqueline Roblero required emergency surgery after sustaining multiple fractures in her leg due to the collision.
Chad Gow was immediately taken into custody and faces multiple charges, including vehicular assault and driving under the influence. Authorities continue to investigate the crash and the circumstances leading to this violent incident.
This heartbreaking case serves as a stark warning about the dangers of impaired driving. Erubey Roblero urges the public to drive carefully, especially when transporting vulnerable passengers like pregnant women and children.
“Be careful when driving, especially when you’re traveling with small children or pregnant women. Be aware of your surroundings,”
he emphasized.
Impact and Safety Reminder for Drivers Nationwide
Incidents like this crash in Aurora underscore the ongoing national challenge with impaired driving and its catastrophic consequences. The loss felt by the Roblero family is a painful reminder of how a single reckless decision behind the wheel can irreversibly change lives.
Kentucky and other US states continue to enforce strict DUI laws, yet crashes tied to impaired driving remain a threat to communities across the country. The Roblero family’s tragedy highlights the urgent need for vigilance and responsible driving behavior everywhere.
Authorities encourage anyone with information about this crash or similar cases to come forward to assist ongoing investigations.
As the investigation unfolds, the Robleros and all affected families await justice and hope their story raises awareness to prevent future heartbreak.
