LAKE WORTH -- The world of a little girl in a pink T-shirt collapsed in a bloody moment.

Diego Francisco Pascual had decided that he wanted to “scare” and “hurt” his live-in girlfriend and her family, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said. So the Lake Worth man ran them over, killing his girlfriend’s mother and injuring her father and three of their children. A fourth one managed to jump out of his way just in time.

Pascual, 26, is in the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted first-degree murder. He turned himself in Sunday afternoon to a Lake Worth substation after he said “he thought about what he did,” according to the arrest report.

Pascual’s alleged actions led to the death of 37-year-old Cristina Andres, the mother of Pascual’s 17-year-old girlfriend Ana. Two others were left severely injured, including Ana and her 37-year-old father, Miguel Pedro Francisco. Both were still hospitalized late Sunday at Delray Medical Center.

Also involved in the crash were 10-year-old Maria Pedro-Andres, and her sister and brother, Carmina, 6, and Manuel, 3. All three younger siblings were released from Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach by Sunday afternoon, Carmina and Manuel with road rash on the sides of their faces.

Pascual told detectives he had been festering in rage since Saturday evening when he had argued with Ana because she wouldn’t give him the keys to his sport utility-vehicle so he could go out and drink. He said he “accidentally” hit Ana with a door and her parents “went to hit him and kick him.”

Pascual said he bought a package of 18 Bud Light beers and began to drink them in the parking lot of a local convenience store as he sulked over the incident, the report said. Around midnight, he drove to a friend’s house, where he continued drinking.

He eventually fell asleep and woke around 9 a.m. Sunday, spiteful and determined to cause the family trouble, the report said. First, he drove to their house in the 700 block of North G Street, where he honked but no one answered. It was Sunday, he remembered, and the family tradition on such a day is to do the laundry.

Pascual said he drove to a nearby coin laundry, where he saw Ana and her family through the window.

He waited.

About 15 minutes later, the family headed home, as Pascual followed in his SUV while staying about a block behind, the report said. He didn’t think they saw him following him, he later told detectives.

Then he floored his SUV to about 50 mph.

He first hit Miguel, who was holding on to Carmina. Then he hit Cristina, followed by Ana. Maria said she heard the SUV revving up behind her and she jumped out of the way.

“My sister said, ‘He’s going to kill us,’ ” said Maria, the only one not injured. As the car came closer, “he started going faster,” she added Sunday night, while lamenting that she did not try to help her injured siblings out of the way.

Thank you for making the title sound like it was about illicit drugs. I am happy (??) to see that this was caused by a crazy asshole mixed with beer.

What did this was the crazy asshole still.
 
what a fucked up article, funny how they don't blame this incident on legal drugs.

On the other hand, if he had been on something other than alcohol, multiple Bluelighters would say it was the person and not the drug that's to blame (a point of view I agree with).
 
I altered the title a bit to make it consistent with every other violent drug rage article.

To use the phrase "mowed down" in this context is despicable, no matter what. Grass is "mowed down," not living, feeling people.

I know it's easy to become desensitized to these types of stories, but Bluelighters should hold a higher standard <3
 
No mecaib, "mowed down" is applicable and appropriate. You've never heard the term used like this before?

You mow the grass, you don't mow it down.

"Verb phrase
4.
mow down,
a.
to destroy or kill indiscriminately or in great numbers, as troops in battle.
b.
to defeat, overwhelm, or overcome: The team mowed down its first four opponents.
c.
to knock down."

How many murders, crimes and deaths have been attributed to this dangerous narcotic? Heard it's even used in paint thinner and industrial solvents. Who would put solvents in their body8o? They must find replacements and emergency schedule this drug to CI.

Seriously this guys a fucking piece of shit, on alcohol, drugs or sober. By nine he should be sober. Maybe a 'rebound' effect otherwise known as a hangover? Otherwise not really alcohol related, unless you say he did it because he through a hissy fit because his girl wouldn't let him drink. Now I'm no fan of anyone trying to make someone straight edge, but that's no excuse to kill someone.

And why does this shit always happen in Florida? Maybe I shouldn't be talking seeing as my state's just as fucked. Shit what state isn't fuck up?
 
Damn you just can't help some people. I'm sure we've all been that pissed off at one point or another where you just wanna snap some fuckers neck or fly a plane into someones house, but you don't actually go and do it ffs. Even if I smoked like 8 ounce of meth and drank an 800 pack of beer I still wouldn't have it in me to just go out and mow some people down y'know? Piece o shit.
