Description
A 33-year-old man is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday afternoon for a deadly DUI crash that claimed the lives of two people.
81-year-old Suad Alsamari and her grandson 23-year-old Ahmed Alrawi died in the May crash near Sports Arena Blvd. and Rosecrans Street.
During his arraignment, defendant Edgar Suarez Espinosa pled not guilty to two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter, felony DUI charges, and a misdemeanor count of driving without a license.
However, in July he changed his plea to guilty on all counts.
Prosecutors say Suarez was speeding and driving drunk, when he lost control of his Toyota pickup, hit a center median, and flew through the air into the Toyota Sienna van carrying four family members.
