Brancho was allegedly driving in the wrong lane with her two kids inside the vehicle when she struck a Jeep, which held 12-year-old Travis Wolfe and his parents.

Travis and his parents were all transported to the hospital with injuries, and the 12-year-old was put on life support. He never woke up and passed away March 6.

The two children that were inside Brancho’s car are now with their father, police said.

According to legal documents, Brancho is “here illegally from Venezuela.”

Brancho exercised the right to remain silent and did not have an attorney in court Friday. A bond reduction hearing is scheduled for April 8.
