P. v. Jenkins
Driving at 64 miles per hour around a curve posted at 35 miles per hour, defendant Tracy Ann Jenkins lost control of a dune buggy and crashed. Her passenger, a hitchhiker, sustained a broken arm, a concussion and a bruised chest. Defendant, who had a blood-alcohol content of .32 percent, sustained a broken arm, a concussion and a punctured lung. Defendant pleaded no contest to driving under the influence causing injury to her passenger, a felony (Veh. Code, 23153, subd. (a)) in exchange for dismissal of the remaining count and the prosecutors agreement not to oppose reduction to a misdemeanor upon defendants successful completion of probation.
The court suspended imposition of sentence and granted probation subject to certain terms and conditions, including serving 120 days in county jail and refraining from the consumption of alcohol. The judgment is affirmed.
