Dublin Limo Fire Victim Jenni Balon Leaves Behind Husband and Two Children

In an interview with KTVU Monday night, the husband of limo fire victim Jenni Balon said one of the survivors told him what happened in the Saturday night tragedy that took his wife's life.

John Balon, filmed holding the couple's squirming toddler son at their Dublin home, said he was told the eight women in the car could not escape because the back passenger doors of the burning car were locked.

"I'm frustrated, disappointed," he said in the interview. "If only they (could) break the glass, maybe they would have survived."

The couple moved to Dublin five years ago from the Philippines, according to KPIX5. Jenni was a nurse at Fruitvale Healthcare Center in Oakland, where John is a physical therapist and where several of the victims worked.

Jenni Balon leaves behind a son, Jayden (who is 18 months old), and a 10-year-old daughter, Jillian, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Jillian is a student at Dougherty Elementary. The family was celebrating her birthday the day of the accident, according to news reports.
