Man Accused of Murder in Connection With DUI Accident
A man suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol reportedly caused a rollover accident that killed his female passenger. According to an article in the San Diego Union Tribune, Steve Red, 39, of Riverside, was booked into county jail on suspicion of murder, gross vehicular manslaughter and DUI causing an injury.
Officials say Red was traveling north on Washington Street when his vehicle hit a curb, a mailbox, a wooden fence and a fire hydrant before flipping over at least once. His passenger, 38-year-old Lisa Moreno, died after being ejected from the vehicle. Red, who police said was under the influence of alcohol, suffered minor injuries.
