Coconino County, Arizona. – A 19-month-old boy died in an off-road vehicle crash near Sedona during a family camping trip.

His grandfather, who was driving, is accused of driving under the influence of drunk driving, manslaughter and worsening assault.

What we know:

On Sunday, June 22nd, Baby Antonio Pacheco was on an off-road vehicle with his cousin in Oak Creek Canyon from Route 89A in the state.

His granddad, 37-year-old Miguel Pacheco, was driving. At one point the vehicle crashed and rolled.

Antonio, who was not in the child’s safety seat, was kicked out and died.

Everyone else survived.

“Following the investigation, Pacheco was arrested and Coconino County Detention Facility for manslaughter charges, three counts of worsening assault risk, two counts of felony risk, possession/using drug substance, possession/using DUI, worsening DUI (suspended/revoked license), driving/15YOA driving of a merciless suspect).

“We all hurt.”

“He changed my life so much, it got so much better.

She describes Antonio, a 19-month-old boy, as the love of her life.

“My baby,” Jazel said. “He was a very clever and cheerful boy.”

He hit all his milestones early. He loved running, drinking milk and playing.

“He’s a very great, clever little baby, filled with joy,” said Antonio’s grandma, Priscilla Palma.

“All I can say is that he was a very bright soul. He was taken away from us too quickly, too quickly. He had more life for him,” Jazel said.

His grandma says that the sound of her running into her room to play with her will miss her big smile.

“He is my only grandchild. He made me my grandmother,” Palma said. “It’s still incredibly unbelievable, I don’t think it’s hitting me, just as I can’t wake up from a nightmare. It’s so unrealistic. It’s so unrealistic.”

“This was a tragic and tragic accident that happened during a family camping trip,” Palma said.

A few days after the tragedy, family and friends lamented Antonio with a candlelight vigil.

“We’re all heartbroken. We’re all devastated what happened. This was a big accident,” said his great grandma, Merlinda Martinez.

A big accident that made a huge hole in Jazel’s heart.
