Toxicology reports from Cina, age 21, revealed she had a blood-alcohol content of .21. The legal limit is .08.
?????
What’s funny about that?
Azita Who’s laughing?
I don’t think Azita know’s the difference between straight face, shocked or smiley face… They are all happy face to her.
Heartbreaking. She should’ve been charged with murder.
Like it or not, a murder charge requires evidence of a deliberate intent to kill. However, I hope she gets the max for what she did.
Of course I don’t like that. My life has been impacted by people drinking while intoxicated. When you make the decision to get behind that wheel….. murder
If she has a previous DUI, it can be escalated to murder.
Drinking and driving is pretty deliberate especially with all the other options available.
There should be mandatory prison time for DUI vehicular manslaughter. It might make people think twice about driving after drinking, imo
Does anyone know how to contact the family? Wondering if we can help holding the newborns in ICU?
I’d love to help too!
You can PM Tiffany Hernandez, I think? If I remember right, she is a friend of theirs and I think was making a list of things that people were offering to give or do.

por una imprudencia, tan joven, que pena.
I agree should have been murder. When you decide to drink and drive I think that you show intent. I also remember reading she had open containers in the car. Unfortunately many lives have been changed from 1 dumb decision
Brianna Mercedes Ortega
Murder!
Good
Such a tragedy! That’s why there’s Uber..
Sad all around But she knows the laws and she doesn’t get to take others lives without paying the price. That mom paid the ultimate sacrifice for this stupid decision of this girl.Now she must pay the uli
She should pay the ultimate price. Life in prison .For every child that lost their mom ten Years times six.That’s fair.
She had almost 3 times the amount of alcohol in her system…manslaughter is a joke. In this state she will get a slap on the wrist and very little or no jail time… compared what she put that family thru for the rest of all of their lives. And with the liberal government we have in CA I will gaurentee this will fall off her record after a few years like nothing happened ….with this kind of charge for total disreguared of the law and human life it is disgraceful…no wonder why DUIs are so prevalent…
Actually, she could serve a sentence of 7 years. A DUI stays on your record for 10 years.
7 years is nothing…. the lady she murdered is dead for good.
And being it is first offense and the judges in CA she won’t get the max …she is 21 so 10 years on her record isn’t long enough. Some countries like Germany if you are convicted with a DUI you can never drive again and it is on your permenent record and the DUIs have dropped dramatically there .
So sad for the family who lost the mother of all those children! So sad for the young lady who caused her death. That young lady is going to pay for the rest of her life. And she’s only 21 years old! The whole story is nothing but a huge tragedy for everyone involved!
Nobody wins
Anthony Brown
Sad
Sometimes life is not fair or kind. There will be no winners here, just terrible pain for all those involved – Big terrible mistakes – The father and children will struggle in so many ways – GOD bless them – God forgive this young lady – Very Sad
My heart aches for this young family who’s mother and wife was killed so tragically.
I don’t know the laws, but Azita should be charged with murder. She made the intoxicated decision to get behind the wheel of a machine that could kill. No one forced her to drink and drive. She chose, therefore she should face the ultimate consequence of being charged with murder.
What about the people she was drinking with? Are they partially responsible too?
She was beyond drunk. Manslaughter? Ugh.
Kristen Galvan felony vehicular manslaughter.
It’s awful for all! Just awful! No words.

Should have been 1st degree murder.. manslaughter will be a slap on the wrist compared to what she deserves. With Lyft and Uber there’s no excuse anymore for drinking and driving… so choosing to get behind the wheel, should be seen as intent.
Now is the perfect time/opportunity for people of this community to contact their representatives and demand changes to the law(s) that apply to DUI’s. So many people are angered by this tragic accident, that should be the momentum to drive them to try and change the law(s).
Anabelia Lopez
This POS will get a slap on the wrist and why? It’s due to the weak laws we have and the Liberal nonsense we have in this state. Anyone that’s a liberal should not be commenting on this article. You voted these law makers into office. Liberals call for more gun control yet cars and alcohol kill more people a year. This is no different then a person getting drunk and stabbing or shooting someone. Taking a life is taking a life no matter how you see it. This is murder
Certainly one of Santa Clarita’s most tragic stories of the year…possibly THE most tragic. The vast majority of the drunk-driver deaths around here (and probably most places) seem to take place after 10 PM. I do my best to always keep off the freeways after dark, especially toward midnight and early in the morning. I suggest that everyone avoid the most dangerous hours. And the freeways realignments that are scheduled to be taking place on the 5 Fwy FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS! are only going to make the problem worse. We’ve already seen some very bad accidents in the short time this has been going on. It can be difficult to navigate them sober, much less drunk. It seems they could have done a better job of executing this project.
My condolences to the victims family and those innocent babies left with out a mommy
Should be charged with murder.
Hope she gets life. Minimum sentance. Theirs no excuse for DUI today with Uber, Lyft or the good old adidas express. No excuse
Very sad, for all involved. One of the immediate things we can do as a community, is talk to our kids about driving responsibly. I remind my kids often on what responsibility it is to drive, they don’t drive yet, however I often point out the reckless drivers, and how to avoid them. I also remind them not to get in the vehicle of friends that might be under the influence and to persuade them into taking an uber or lyft. They often roll their eyes, however I know they listen. I also show them these stories, that are close to home, so they can see that unfortunately these things happen.
