The suspect suddenly crossed from her lane into the north lanes and immediately corrected back at top speed. The act caused Romero-Garcia to lose control of the Chevy, and she went on to strike multiple trees, before resting.
The CHP said that the impact of the collision left the female motorist with extensive injuries, and the medics transported her to Mercy Medical Center in Redding for treatment. An unidentified male passenger in the pickup sustained fatal wounds, and the authorities pronounced him dead at the scene.
The investigators withheld the deceased’s identity pending when they notify his next-of-kin. They took Romero-Garcia into custody for driving under the influence and killing her passenger. No other vehicle was involved in the crash, and the authorities ruled it a solo accident.
The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information should reach out to the investigators with the listed line of the CHP Trinity River Area Office. Those with liabilities in a DUI crash should contact a top accident lawyer for legal advice and representation.
