What a tragedy. My heart goes out to the family.
Ms. Mendoza should be thrown in prison for the rest of her r0tten life. But, this country’s weak and twisted legal system unfortunately allows drunk drivers to get away with murderrr.
This is a tragedy because 3 families are affected by this. My only question is how do you know Ms. Mendoza was drunk?

So sad. I really hope this 20 year old wasn’t drunk and was just confused by the signs. Either way.. tragedy indeed
Was the other driver drunk too? How don’t you notice another car coming at you head on going the wrong way on a highway with out avoiding it? Unless that driver had no headlights on omggg
The area where this occurred is a rise in the road. It is not the first time this has occurred in the same area.
