Clovis,CA : Charges reduced for Teen driver who livestreamed fatal crash in Merced County on September, Friday 1st 2017

The DUI charges for Obdulia Sanchez, the Stockton teen driver who livestreamed a crash that killed her younger sister, were amended Friday to reduce one of the potential sentencing enhancements after it was determined injuries to one of the victims were less severe than initially believed.

Sanchez’s 15-year-old sister, Jacqueline Sanchez, was killed in the rollover crash on Henry Miller Road north of Los Banos. The younger sister’s girlfriend, 15-year-old Fresno resident Manuela Ceja, suffered a laceration to her left leg.

“Initially, the police report stated that Manuela suffered great bodily injury,” Merced Deputy District Attorney Thomas Min said. “Upon receiving the medical records it appears she just received a laceration, which would make it just an injury.”

Min recommended the change during Friday’s hearing.
