PLANTATION, Fla. – Liliana Torrejon said she has been living a nightmare since a police officer knocked on her door and told her that her daighter, Annette Ampuero, had died.
"I screamed, I screamed and screamed. I cried and I cried," Torrejon said.
The 26-year-old nursing student was killed on May 9 in an afternoon crash in Plantation.
Police said an elderly woman driving a pickup lost control, jumped the curb and T-boned Ampuero's car as she was stopped in a Bank of America driveway.
"She was full of life," Torrejon said. "And I don't have words to express what this means to me because she was my first child, my first love and she is not going to be around anymore."
The anguish and pain of this heartbroken mother is only compounded by frustration because the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s death are unknown.
" I don’t have the answers. Nobody is giving me the answers. I don't even know the ladies name. Nobody has contacted me from that side to at least say I am sorry for your loss," Torrejon said.
Torrejon went to Plantation police headquarters on Thursday to try and get some answers.
An incident reporter of the crash shows that Jannie Smalls, 76, was behind the wheel of that pickup.
Smalls did not answer the door Thursday afternoon when approached by Local 10 news.
"What hurts me the most is I don't know if my daughter saw it coming. What she felt," Torrejon said.
Ampuero was about to graduate from nursing school and start a family.
Now her family, including her 9-year-old sister, are lost.
"It is painful. Having to stand here and not have her with me. Half of my heart is gone," Torrejon said.
