P. v. Cifuentes CA1/3
On November 15, 2019, Cifuentes ran a red light at an intersection and struck a sedan carrying three passengers: Anthony J., Daniela Z., and their three-month old son. Anthony and Daniela were injured and taken to the hospital, and their car suffered major damage. Cifuentes left the scene. He was found in a nearby creek with red eyes and smelling of alcohol. At the police station, Cifuentes took two breathalyzer tests. The tests indicated he had a 0.16 blood alcohol content and had been driving while impaired. In addition, he was driving without a valid license, as his had been suspended in May 2017 for driving with an excessive blood alcohol content.
Days after the collision, Anthony reported to the investigating detective that he broke his foot in the accident and suffered from severe muscle plain in his lower back. He needed crutches to walk.
