SAN DIEGO -- The organs of teenager killed in an apparent drunken driving crash have been donated by his foster parents against the wishes of his biological family, it was reported Tuesday.

Otay Ranch High School senior Jason Spickerman, 16, was declared brain dead Saturday afternoon at Scripps Mercy Hospital after being injured in a crash late Friday night, Chula Vista police said. A second brother riding in the same vehicle was also killed and a third brother, who was driving, suffered slight injuries.

Spickerman and his brothers were in a car hit by a pickup truck driven by a man who was apparently drunk, police said.

Christian Balboa, 28, the eldest of Spickerman's four brothers, told The San Diego Union-Tribune that he and other relatives were considering legal action to bar the organ donation. But the organs were removed from Spickerman's body before the family could obtain a court order, the newspaper reported.

Jason Murguia, a spokesman for Spickerman's foster parents, told the Union-Tribune that the teen's organs were donated to six people, including an infant.

"I know this is what Jason would have wanted. Six lives were saved," Murguia told the newspaper.

Spickerman's aunt, Virginia Voss, told the Union-Tribune that the family objected because they thought the teen might recover one day.

Balboa refused to comment on why his brother was in foster care.

Spickerman's 18-year-old brother, Daniel Spickerman, died at Rady Children's Hospital about three hours after the crash, which occurred at Main Street and Brandywine Avenue in Chula Vista.

The Spickerman brother who was driving the car was treated at a hospital and released, according to police.

The pickup driver, 31-year-old Enrique Coronado, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, felony hit-and-run and being an unlicensed driver -- and a murder count could be added following an investigation, according to police.
