In Loving Memory of Cristofer Luna Cortes & Jeimey Alexa Gonzalez-Moralez
The hearts of many across Prince George County, Sandston, and beyond are heavy as we honor the memories of 18-year-old Cristofer Luna Cortes and 18-year-old Jeimey Alexa Gonzalez-Moralez, whose lives were tragically lost in a devastating crash on Interstate 295 early Thursday morning, November 25, 2025. Their passing has left a profound void in the lives of their families, friends, and all who knew their vibrant spirits and bright futures.
According to the Virginia State Police, the crash occurred at approximately 6:22 a.m. in the southbound lanes near the 12-mile marker. A disabled tractor-trailer had been parked safely on the right emergency shoulder when a 2014 Toyota Camry traveling at a high rate of speed veered off the roadway, striking the rear of the trailer. Cristofer, who was driving, and Jeimey, his beloved girlfriend and faithful companion, both died at the scene. Investigators believe speed was a contributing factor.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, Keith Holloway of Philadelphia, was found not to be at fault, despite initial reports. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to piece together the final details of this heartbreaking event. But for the families left behind, the loss is already immeasurable and permanent.
While the circumstances of the crash offer a factual outline of that tragic morning, they cannot begin to capture the lives, love, and promise that Cristofer and Jeimey embodied. They were more than two young names in a news story—they were two beautiful souls whose journeys intertwined with deep affection, shared dreams, and plans that extended far into the future.
Cristofer Luna Cortes, at just 18, was known for his genuine heart, his determination, and the kindness he showed to everyone around him.
