Just prior to the fatal collision, the victim and three family members were involved in a non-injury accident and had pulled to the right of Ironwood Dr. to inspect the damage to the car. The victim and her sister were standing outside of their car when a red Mazda sedan, driven by Guerrero, struck the victim’s sister in her arm, then hit the victim, dragging her into the roadway and killing her instantly. The sister was not seriously injured.
Guerrero continued in the red Mazda without stopping. He was located minutes later by a PCSO deputy. He was stopped and arrested near Ironwood and Germann. He was booked into PCSO jail for Manslaughter, Leaving the Scene of a Fatal Collision, and Extreme DUI.
