Oceanside DUI Driver Appears In Vista Court

June 30, 2016 By sdcnews

VISTA–An intoxicated driver who fatally struck a pedestrian Monday morning while he walked along the 4000 block of Mission Avenue in Oceanside pleaded not guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and hit-and-run causing death.

Authorities say 29 year-old Esteysi Izazaga Sanchez allegedly continued driving her Pontiac sedan after the pedestrian, identified as 69 year-old Jack Ray Tenhulzen, was thrown through the windshield, landed in Sanchez’s passenger seat, and severed a leg which landed on the vehicle’s trunk. She drove to Magdalena Drive, parked about a block from her home, and walk away. Oceanside police arrested Sanchez after her live-in boyfriend reported the incident.

Sanchez also was charged with two DUI counts and driving without a license. Her bail was set at $1.5 million.

Deputy District Attorney Aimee McLeod says Immigration Customs Enforcement has placed a “hold” on Sanchez.

“She was going so fast she literally stripped him out of his clothing,” McLeod said in court. McLeod said Sanchez’s blood-alcohol content was between .18 and .19 percent which was above the legal limit of .08.
