The SUV was smashed and the 2-year-old twins of the family were inside, strapped in their car seats with their mommy and grandma.
The little girl, Melanie Resendiz, survived, but her brother Nicolas was killed.
“I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a nightmare,”Inside Edition was told by Jennifer, mom.
As her surviving daughter wiped away her tears, Jennifer said she is still in shock and can’t believe her son is gone.
A cement truck may weigh as much as 66,000 lbs or 33 tonnes.
