HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A drunken driver who caused a fiery California crash that killed three Las Vegas teenagers on spring break has been sentenced to 51 years to life in prison.
Bani Duarte, 29, of San Clemente was sentenced for second-degree murder in the March 2018 crash on Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. Prosecutors say after a night of drinking, Duarte drove her speeding car into the back of a car stopped at a red light.
The car exploded in flames, killing the teens. The 17- and 18-year-olds were students at Centennial High School in Las Vegas.
