.30 Drunk Driving Dad Gets 6 years prison for killing 6 year old son
San Diego DUI Attorney news
A San Diego County father was sentenced to 6 years in prison Thursday for a San Diego drunk driving crash that killed his 6-year-old son.
Rodrigo Mendoza and his wife, Rosa Iris Carachure, were arguing over his lack of sobriety when he started swerving the family's large SUV back and forth on northbound I-15 near El Norte Parkway to prove he was not impaired.
The father lost control of the SUV and it rolled over numerous times. Six-year-old Brian Mendoza, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was hurled from the SUV.
The Judge imposed a 6 year prison term, noting Mendoza endangered his family and the San Diego community when he chose to drive with a blood-alcohol level of 0.30 percent – nearly 4 times the legal limit.
