Was he in the wrong place at the wrong time?

According to Daily Mail, Alejandro Hernández Fuentes was one of the six workers who died in the bridge collapse in Baltimore.

His body was found alongside that of Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, a 26-year-old from Guatemala.

Obdulia Fuentes, Alejandro’s mother, said her son followed her to the U.S. from Mexico in 2006.

She said he always was a great son and that he caught up with her in the United States because he couldn’t bear to be without his mother.

«From a very young age, he always worried about me. He always tried his best to help,» she said.

‘I didn’t know it would be my last conversation with him’

In another part of this interview, Obdulia Fuentes said she last spoke to her son on Thursday, March 21.

«I didn’t know it would be my last conversation with him. I regret not telling him I love him,» said Alejandro Hernández Fuentes’ mother.

She mentioned that her son lived far from her, and that’s why she couldn’t see him every day to hug him.
