Driver in Dana Point crash that killed 13-year-old boy was on probation for previous DUI

According to court documents, a 58-year-old man from San Juan Capistrano faces charges in a fatal hit-and-run incident involving a DUI that claimed the life of a 13-year-old boy in Orange County. The man, identified as Bradley Gene Funk, had previous DUI convictions and was on probation during the crash. The tragic event occurred on Tuesday morning near Doheny State Beach, where Funk allegedly hit Luis Adrian Morales-Pacheco. The boy succumbed to his injuries at a nearby hospital. Funk fled the scene but was located a few miles away with his damaged pickup truck. Public records indicate that Funk had a prior conviction related to driving under the influence and hit-and-run in 2020. He now faces suspicion of murder and is expected to attend a court hearing soon. Meanwhile, the grieving family and friends have set up a memorial for Luis Adrian, describing him as a joyful soul who will be deeply missed by his loved ones.
