The father swerved to avoid a collision, causing the truck to rollover multiple times and crash into a light pole. Jayda did not survive. Her brother and father remained hospitalized as of Monday morning.
The children's mother, Adriana Rodriguez, visited a memorial of candles and balloons set up near the crash scene over the weekend.
