Woman suspected of driving mile with body smashed in windshield

Fox 5 San Diego

OCEANSIDE, Calif. — A DUI suspect struck a pedestrian on an Oceanside street Monday and then drove for more than a mile with the victim’s body stuck in her smashed windshield before abandoning the car and fleeing on foot in a futile attempt to avoid arrest, police allege.

The collision occurred shortly before 6:30 a.m. in the 4000 block of Mission Avenue, police spokesman Ryan Keim said.  

The motorist, 29-year-old Esteysi Izazaga Sanchez of Oceanside, allegedly continued driving with the mortally injured man protruding into the car, lodged against the front passenger seat. Reaching the 100 block of Magdalena Drive, she pulled over, got out of the vehicle and walked away, Keim said.

Officers found Sanchez a short time later at her home and took her into custody, he said.

She was booked into the county jail in Vista on suspicion of drunken driving, vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run, with bail set at $130,000. Arraignment is expected on Wednesday afternoon.

The victim’s name was not immediately released.

  1. “She was booked into the county jail in Vista on suspicion of drunken driving, vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run, with bail set at $130,000.”

    They’ll let her go.

    Saw an article (at Breitbart, I think) that said she’s also an illegal alien.

    They’ll let her go.

  2. I’m sorry mam.
    But your State Farmers car insurance policy doesn’t cover dead people windshield repair.
    Your policy does have a windshield replacement plan without dead people.
    But there still is a $500 dollar deductible.
    I would suggest pulling the body out before filing a claim.
    Is there anything else I can help you with today ?
    Okay…then thank you for calling State Farmers insurance….and have a great day!
