Two members of a Fultondale family are dead after a car wreck in Center Point Saturday night, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

A report by Chief Deputy Randy Christian says the family had just turned onto the 1300 block of Center Point Highway when their vehicle was struck from behind by another vehicle driven by Joseph Alexander Goolsby, 19, of Pinson. Christian said Goolsby’s vehicle was traveling at a “high rate of speed.” The report says the family’s vehicle was knocked 200 feet, while Goolsby’s vehicle traveled twice that distance, struck a tree and caught fire. Deputies Al Finley and John Mayes were nearby and witnessed the crash.

“Captain Finley and Lieutenant Mayes were off duty and had just finished coffee at a coffee shop,” said Christian. “Captain Finley and Lieutenant Mayes called for assistance and immediately began to render aid to all victims.”

Christian said the driver of the struck vehicle, Edgar Perez, 34, was already dead by the time the deputies reached him. An eight-months-pregnant woman, Yasmine Aguilar, and two girls, ages 11 and 8, were also in Perez’s car. The children were transported to Children’s Hospital by ambulance, while Goolsby and a passenger in his car were transported to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital by ambulance, according to Christian’s report.

Aguilar, 27, suffered a critical head injury in the crash and was transported by Life Flight to UAB. An emergency procedure was performed at UAB to deliver her unborn child. Aguilar died shortly after the procedure, according to Christian’s report.

“The children will be OK physically,” said Christian.

The sheriff’s office has arrested Goolsby and charged him with murder for Perez’s and Aguilar’s deaths. Christian said Goolsby was over the legal limit of blood alcohol content.

The Perez and Aguilar family lived at One Hundred Oaks Manufactured Home Community.

“They were very good people. The husband would help you do anything, and the wife was a big Auburn fan,” said Bill Bounds, a district manager for One Hundred Oaks. “She brought me a cheeseburger once when Auburn won.”

Bounds said donations for the family can be made at One Hundred Oaks, and that a special account for donations has also been set up at Compass Bank in Center Point.

“They were kind of quiet,” said Scott Fassina, a fire marshal for the Fultondale Fire Department and neighbor to the family. “I would wave at them when I saw them.”

Bounds said the children’s grandparents, Rosa Maria Cruz and Jose Hernandez, will care for the children now. He also said no funeral arrangements have been made.
