Father speaks after daughter killed in crash with accused drunk driver: 'I wouldn't wish this on anybody'

FORT WORTH, Texas - Amiyah Lashae Rose Fisher was the youngest victim in a crash that killed five people in Fort Worth on Monday. Police say a 19-year-old drunk driver was behind the wheel.

Amiyah's father, Eddie Fisher, spoke with FOX 4 about the young girl on Thursday.

"The first time I was able to hold her my whole world changed. I had a reason to be better, to do better," he said.

Fisher was once in a relationship with the toddler's mom, who was also killed, Amber Hopewell. Hopewell, her boyfriend, Willie Gunn, and two of Hopewell's other children died early Monday at I-35 and Seminary Drive.

Investigators say 19-year-old Eduardo Gonzalez slammed into their vehicle from behind, causing the car to catch fire.

He is charged with five counts of intoxication manslaughter.

Amiyah was Fisher's only child.

"I am most proud of being a father than anything else in my life. She gave me a purpose, gave me a reason, she gave me understanding," he said.

Fisher looks forward to Gonzalez being held accountable through the justice system. He also wanted to share a message with parents.

"Those parents who do still have their kids in their life, hold onto them tighter," he through tears. "It’s a tough time. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody."

On Thursday, police officials said there are no new developments in the investigation.

Toxicology tests for Gonzalez are still pending.
