19-Year-Old Kills Two While Drunk Driving



19-Year-Old Carmen Elena Chavez was driving drunk in L.A. on early Sunday and crashed her car, killing two innocent bystanders. 

Chavez had been out partying Saturday night with a group of friends before her, and four friends, hopped into the 1989 Mercedes Benz which later killed two people. 

She was speeding and tried to make a right turn and crashed into two homeless people who were sleeping on the street, trapping them under the car and dragging them about 50 feet before crashing the car to a stop. 

Most of the people in the car fled except for Chavez and the cars owner - both were arrested at the scene. Chavez was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence and was booked in Los Angeles County Jail.

The homeless pair had to be removed from under the car using the jaws of life.. both were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
