A young family's drive home from a Super Bowl party ended in disaster Sunday night.
Jose A. Lopez, 20, and Daisy Ortiz, 19, were on their way back to Freedom with their two young children (1 and 2) in the backseat when Lopez lost control of his 2010 Ford Fusion. The car crashed through the fence as 321 Lakeview Road in Watsonville and went straight into the home on the property.
A group of people was inside the home, including a 57-year-old woman who got trapped under the car, according to a CHP report.
The woman was extracted from under the car by emergency personnel and flown by helicopter to the hopital where she was treated for what CHP is calling "major injuries."
The crash was attributed to Lopez's high rate of speed as well as his blood alcohol content, which was over twice the legal limit.
Lopez was arrested for DUI over 0.15 percent, felony child endangerment, DUI causing injury and driving without insurance. He was taken to Santa Cruz County Jail. Ortiz suffered minor injuries, but Lopez and the babies were not hurt.
