FRESNO COUNTY, CA : CA nurse, who was mother of 3, killed while trying to save crash victim on Thursday, 11th February 2021

A Fresno County family is grieving the sudden loss of Juliana Ramos. The 26-year-old nurse and mother of three stopped her car and ran out to help a car crash victim, when another tragedy struck.

California Highway Patrol investigators said initially, the call was for a car and big rig that crashed along Highway 99 near Manning Avenue.

Moments later, another car pulled up near the crash, and that's when Ramos ran out to help. Investigators say that's when she was hit.

Ramos's sisters say she was a nurse and was going to school to further her career and be a hero to her community.

In just a few days, they were getting ready to celebrate her 27th birthday.

"Instead of celebrating her birthday, we're planning a funeral. It's heartbreaking," said Laura Sanchez, Ramos' sister.

"She loved being with her kids. She's a good person, she had a good heart. She didn't deserve this," said Claudia Sanchez, Ramos' sister.

Ramos was also a mother to three children, the youngest is just 4 months old. CHP officials say that infant was in the car at the scene of the crash.
