Drunk Driver Pleads Not Guilty after Taking Two Lives

The man that caused two fatalities in a drunk driving accident has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him. If found guilty of those charges, he could face years behind bars.

According to the police department in San Diego, California, the 39-year-old man was driving on a local roadway when he struck an SUV carrying a 73-year-old grandmother and her grandson. The impact of the crash was severe enough to cause the car to burst into flames, trapping both people inside. When officers arrived on the scene, they quickly determined that the suspect had been driving intoxicated.

He has since been charged with felony DUI and gross vehicular manslaughter. The driver is being held on $750,000 bail. Records show that he has no priors of any kind.
