Father and delivery driver from Oakland dies in crash caused by suspected DUI
A tragic incident occurred in Oakland resulting in the devastating loss of Daniel Morales, a 40-year-old father of three and a dedicated Amazon delivery driver. Morales was on his way to work early Friday morning when his Hyundai Elantra was struck by another driver suspected of driving under the influence, causing Morales' car to be thrown off the I-80 overpass in Albany, landing upside down and tragically taking his life. Morales was described by his family as a responsible and hardworking individual who held multiple jobs to support his family, often delivering packages for Amazon and DoorDash. A deeply devoted husband and father, Morales was known for his kindness and happy demeanor. His sudden and untimely passing has left his family heartbroken, with his wife expressing disbelief at the accident, as Morales was a person who avoided alcohol and drugs. Morales' children remember him fondly as a family man, a hard worker, and a role model, cherishing the memories they shared together. The suspect, an El Cerrito man in his 30s, was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI. The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover funeral expenses and provide support during this difficult time.
