The father of two children killed along the SR-78 in Vista on Father’s Day is defending their mother. Sandra Ortiz was arrested for DUI, gross vehicular manslaughter and child endangerment after her 10-year-old and 16-year-old got out of their car on the freeway and were hit by another car. “I wake up looking at their faces in my head,” said their father, Miguel Aguilar. Aguilar spoke to CBS 8 about the tragedy that happened just hours after celebrating Father’s Day with his six kids and their mom, his partner of 13 years. Aguilar received a call about a crash along the SR-78 freeway in Vista involving his family. He rushed to the scene, where he learned 10-year-old Alan, and 16-year-old Amy had both died after being hit by a car. "The hardest moments to see as a father is just to see two bodies laying there," said Aguilar. According to investigators, Ortiz pulled over after a piece of luggage fell off their car. That's when Alan and Amy got out to retrieve it and were hit by another vehicle. MORE: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/kids-killed-on-sr-78-freeway/509-2664451b-72f9-4964-9b72-eba722c98888
