Encinitas man honored as devoted son after deadly crash with alleged intoxicated driver

A man from Encinitas tragically lost his life after being hit by a suspected drunk driver in San Marcos. Ben Lo Cicero, 34, was struck by a pickup truck and passed away at the scene. The driver, 54-year-old Daniel Vega, was arrested for DUI, but investigators determined it was not the cause of the collision. Lo Cicero's cousin, Charlotte, is still coming to terms with the details of that night. The family is searching for answers about the death of a man they remember as sensitive, funny, and dedicated to his family. Despite the driver's arrest, Lo Cicero, who was several years sober and active in AA meetings, would have been forgiving, according to Charlotte. The family is focused on honoring Lo Cicero's life and legacy, emphasizing the impact he had on all of them. A GoFundMe page has been created to support the family with funeral costs.
