A little boy in Texas has been left orphaned after his family after a wrong-way drunken driver crashed into his family’s car as it headed home from a Christmas party, k!lling his mother, father, and 5-year-old sister.

The young family of four was on Highway 99 in Fort Bend County, Texas, when their vehicle was violently struck head-on by a boozed-up motorist going the wrong way around 2 a.m. Saturday, December ,20, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office.

Lizbeth Rodriguez Contreras, a 27-year-old teacher, and her daughter, Camila Pena, 5, d!ed at the scene, cops said.

Dad Diego Pena Jr., 26, and the 3-year-old boy, identified by family members as Dieguito, were rushed to the hospital by ambulance, but the father d!ed from his injuries.

Dieguito, described as a” sweet and innocent boy,” remained hospitalized as of Christmas Eve in critical but stable condition, according to police and devastated relatives.

“In an instant, Dieguito lost the people who loved him, protected him, and were his entire world. He is currently receiving medical care, will undergo surgeries and continues to fight through recovery,” heartbroken family members wrote in a GoFundMe campaign raising money for the now-parentless toddler.

“While he is surrounded by family who love him deeply, the emotional and financial weight of this loss is overwhelming for all of the family. No family should ever have to plan funerals for three loved ones while also worrying about the medical care and future of a surviving child.”

The driver of the other vehicle, 27-year-old Majesti Faith Lee, was transported to a hospital by Life Flight and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. 

Police said alcohol was a factor in the crash, and Lee was arrested Wednesday and charged with intoxicated manslaughter, enhanced to a first-degree felony, and one count of intoxication ass@ult.

She is being held at the Fort Bend County Jail on $1,050,000 bond, jail records show.

“Our hearts are with the family as they endure an unimaginable loss,” Fort Bend County Sheriff Eric Fagan said in a statement. “This tragedy is a painful reminder of how quickly lives can be changed when impaired driving occurs, and why making responsible choices behind the wheel is so critical.”

Contreras was a “beloved” fourth-grade teacher at Metcalf Elementary School in Houston, where her “mini-me” Camila also attended preschool, family members said.
