Father hospitalized with serious injuries after severe car crash

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A man is hospitalized with serious injuries after a severe crash in Somerton.

Local 18-year-old father Merardo Cebreros was driving near West County 19th Street and South Avenue H when the crash happened.

He was flown from Yuma to Phoenix for emergency treatment. He suffered brain trauma, broken ribs, a punctured lung, multiple facial fractures, and fractured a critical bone in his neck.

"For him to even like be alive is a miracle," said Merardo's partner Maria Jimenez. "I was able to speak with the sheriff with the deputy. His vehicle rolled and he ejected out of the vehicle, and according to the deputy, they found him laying on the ground unresponsive."

His family says any prayers and contributions big or small make a meaningful difference. If you would like to help support the family, you can find the GoFundMe link here.
