"Last March 7 at around 10 pm in Hayward, there was three-car rollover crash caused by a suspected DUI driver, who police say was driving 88 miles per hour on Hayward Boulevard, and with a blood alcohol content of .23, about triple the legal limit. The crash killed that driver's 20-year-old passenger Elizabeth Fuentes, injured the driver's four-year-old son to the extent that the kid needed 12 staples in his head,"
"Now, a full nine months later, the Alameda County DA has finally gotten around to charging that driver, 20-year-old Armando Hernandez-Benitez, with vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, and numerous counts of DUI, according to the Bay Area News Group. So the 20-year-old Elizabeth Fuentes was killed immediately, the four-year-old son was seriously injured, and according to police reports, the unidentified 18-year-old third passenger would become comatose and suffer paralysis from her injuries."
"Though curiously, the accused DUI driver Hernandez-Benitez has remained a free man for most of the last nine months. He was arrested after the crash but then released from jail, records show, the Bay Area News Group reports. He is not in custody and has not yet had his first court appearance, according to public records. The charges were filed on December 10."
