Mary Helen Navarro, the resident who was home at the time of the collision, said she’s thankful her grandchildren were not home at the time.

"I’m thankful that nobody else got hurt other than the people that were in there," she said. "If I could change things, nobody would’ve got hurt. It’s sad that the lady did lose her life. We have a lot of damage here and I don’t know how long it’s going to be until I get into my house."
