P. v. Vasquez
Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, appellant Juan Manuel Vasquez entered a no-contest plea to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or more and causing injury (Veh. Code, 23153, subd. (b)), leaving the scene of an accident (Veh. Code, 20001, subd. (a)), and driving with a suspended license (Veh. Code, 14601.1, subd. (a)). He also admitted that he caused great bodily injury to the victim, 64-year-old Mary Torres, (Pen. Code, 12022.7, subd. (a)), and that he caused bodily injury to more than one victim, Mrs. Torres and her passenger (Veh. Code, 23558). The convictions resulted from a motor vehicle accident in which Vasquez, driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol level of .22 percent, crossed over the double yellow lines and collided with the vehicle driven by Mrs. Torres. Vasquez ran from the scene. Mrs. Torres suffered a fractured ankle, which rendered her unlikely to walk again. Her passenger suffered injuries to her face and knee. The judgment is affirmed.
