O.C. Driver Accused Of Hitting 9 Charged With DUI
SANTA ANA (AP) — An Orange County man accused of hitting nine pedestrians, including a 2-year-old girl who was dragged under his car, has been charged with drunken driving.
Forty-three-year-old Miguel Sandoval of Santa Ana was charged Wednesday with a driving under the influence causing injury, along with sentencing enhancements.
He remains jailed without bail.
Prosecutors contend that Sandoval's Chevy Suburban veered onto a Santa Ana sidewalk Monday night, struck a mother and daughter, who were dragged 50 feet, and then hit seven other people.
Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna says the dragged girl and another 2-year-old girl were in serious but stable condition Wednesday after surgery. Three other adults, including the mother of the dragged girl, were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
