UPDATE: Temecula, CA- Lily Kelly Harrison Killed in DUI Crash on Rancho California Rd

Temecula, CA (June 4, 2019)- A GoFundMe account has been established for the family of 15-year-old Murrieta resident Lily Kelly Harrison, who was killed by a drunk driver on Rancho California Road, close to Business Park Drive, on Saturday.

According to reports, Harrison was a front-seat passenger in a 2005 Toyota Corolla driven by a friend transporting them home from a party. A 2015 BMW sedan driven by 19-year-old Fallbrook resident Jose A. Zazueta swerved into the path of the Toyota and struck it head-on.

Harrison sustained traumatic blunt force injuries and was pronounced deceased at the site of the crash. In addition, six other people were hurt.

Zazueta was charged with felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter. He is being held at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta with a $75,000 bail.

We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of Lily Kelly Harrison.  Our thoughts are with them at this time.

DUI Driving in California

Did you know that people who drive while drunk or high are 11 times more likely to cause a car accident than those who drive sober? Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol creates deadly situations on the road. Drunk drivers can feel invisible and begin speeding. Substance use makes vision blurry, reducing the driver’s ability to clearly see other vehicles around them.   Unable to judge the speed at which they’re moving or clearly see the roadway and other vehicles, a DUI driver is likely to cause a fatal car accident.
