Mexican Woman '2 Drunk 2 Care' Gets 24 Years in Fatal Crash
A 22-year-old Florida woman who tweeted “2 drunk 2 care” before
a fatal 2013 wrong-way crash that resulted in two deaths now faces 24 years in prison. Kayla Maria Mendoza, 22, was sentenced on Monday, according to several publications. Mendoza, who was 20 at the time of the wreck, faced up to 30 years in prison after entering a guilty plea on two counts of DUI manslaughter back in February. The wreck in question happened on the Sawgrass Expressway in Coral Springs on Nov. 16, 2013. Police said Mendoza was driving between 84 and 96 mph heading eastbound in the westbound lanes. Her vehicle crashed into another, killing Marisa Catronio, 21, at the scene, CBS reported. Kaitlyn Ferrante, 21, died later at a local hospital. Mendoza’s blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit. Mendoza sent out the tweet earlier in the evening and has said it was directed at her boyfriend, CBS reported. A similar incident is unfolding in the Miami area where a 24- year-old woman is accused of sending a text to her ex-boyfriend just minutes before a fatal crash. That text, according to police, read “ driving drunk woo.” The woman in the Miami case, Mila Dago, faces a number of criminal charges related to the accident and the death of one of her friends. A trial date has not been set. http://patch.com/florida/sarasota/wo...-care-gets-24- years-fatal-crash-0 |
