RICHMOND (June 14, 2019) – A passenger was killed and another was critically injured after an alleged DUI crash along the Interstate 80 Freeway last week Saturday.
The victim, 25-year-old Richmond resident Julio Davila-Fuentes, died after the accident which occurred on June 8 at around 5:12 p.m.
California Highway Patrol said the incident began when a gray Nissan Sentra was seen allegedly traveling at a high rate of speed east on the freeway and weaving in and out of traffic.
The Nissan then sideswiped a white Mercedes SUV, just west of the Central Avenue exit. The Sentra spun out of control and ultimately rolled over.
