Young Mother Of 5 Tragically Dies After Falling Out Of A Party Bus And Being Hit By A Car
Los Angeles, California. It was three days before her 30th birthday when Heather Garcia lost her life. She was out celebrating her milestone birthday and her cousin’s birthday with family and friends when a freak accident happened.
In an interview with a CBS Los Angeles reporter, Heather’s brother Juan was still in disbelief and shock from the tragedy. “They went out, got the party bus, and based on the information I got, she was dancing, and she fell… and that was it.“
The reporter echoed his statement, “She fell out of the door?“
“She fell out of the party bus door. She was dancing, and she tripped; I guess she was backing up, and she tripped on something … I don’t know how the door opened. No one knows how the door opened. The door shouldn’t have opened.“
The door to the bus reportedly opened when Garcia fell into it while the party bus was moving northbound on the Hollywood Freeway in Los Angeles.
That’s when another vehicle struck her. She succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Heather leaves behind her husband and five children ages 10, 8, 6, 5, and 1.
In his insurmountable grief, Garcia’s husband spoke about the love of his life in a heartfelt request for financial help from the community.

“She had a huge heart, always lending a hand to anyone who needed it. She was a great mom, always taking care of our children,” Heather’s husband wrote.
“She loved our kids, and she lived to take care of us. She was my best friend, my rock; she kept it together for me and our kids. I feel lost without her. ”
“I do not know how I am going to continue … I need help to give her the burial that she deserves as I was not prepared for a loss ….”
“I am an Army Veteran who served my country with great pride, and today I am asking for help from my community. ”
