THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) – A woman who was killed in a crash involving a suspected intoxicated driver in New York City earlier this month is being remembered for her “bright spirit” and “boundless love” for others.
Dorilys Ramos, 27, was a passenger in a car that was involved in a collision at the intersection of Randall Avenue and Castle Hill Avenue in the Bronx's Castle Hill neighborhood on Nov. 16, according to the NYPD.
A suspected intoxicated driver allegedly crashed his SUV into the car containing Ramos and a 27-year-old driver, police said.
Ramos was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The driver in Ramos' car was also hospitalized and survived, police said.
Later that day, police arrested the alleged driver of the SUV, 43-year-old Bronx resident Dimas Cuadrado, who was charged with vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and driving while intoxicated, according to the NYPD.
Ramos lived in the Bronx and is survived by her parents, sister and boyfriend, according to a GoFundMe page raising donations to help her family.
“Dorilys kindness, bright spirit, and boundless love left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her family, friends, and students are heartbroken by this immense loss, but her legacy of generosity, warmth, and love will live on in their hearts,” the GoFundMe page states.
