CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / OAKLAND
Authorities say a Richmond woman crashed her car while driving under the influence, killing two adults and putting two young children on life support.
Tiffany Reynolds, 26, had a broken neck and other injuries. The California Highway Patrol says she will be arrested on multiple charges, including vehicular manslaughter.
Reynolds lost control of her car on Interstate 880 in Oakland and crashed into a concrete wall about 1:20 a.m. Monday.
Her domestic partner, Sara Tierra, and Tierra’s brother David Tierra were pronounced dead at the scene. Sara Tierra’s twin 3-year-old sons were taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition.
Authorities say neither boy was in a car seat, as required by law. One of the boys was pinned under the steering column, and the other was ejected onto the freeway.
