Accident Kills Two In DUI Car Collision
February 26th, 2010
Lynette Ann Hunt, 32, was sentenced for the death of her two friends who were killed in a DUI car collision on July 11, 2008. According to The Orange County Register, Hunt and her two friends were celebrating a birthday in Santa Ana at a gentlemen’s club. After the celebration Hunt got behind the wheel of her 1993 Honda sedan accompanied by her two companions. According to eye witnesses Hunt was seen on the 91 freeway weaving in and out of lanes before losing control and flipping her car down an embankment. The car rolled over ejecting Hunt and one of her passengers Maria Zamarripa. Both passengers suffered fatal injuries. Hunt suffered a broken clavicle and broken ribs.
Hunt pleaded guilty in August 2009 to felony vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, misdemeanor driving on a suspended license, and sentencing enhancements for causing great bodily injury and having a blood-alcohol level of .15 percent. She has been sentenced to six years in prison.
I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased for their devastating loss. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
California DUI Laws
Driving under the influence is poor judgment on Hunts part. It is also against California law to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher. California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a): “It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.”
