Julio Lizarraga witnessed the incident and called 911 after trying to help Shoaf out of the Tesla before police arrested him. San Diego Fire-Rescue helped three people escape from a Tesla stuck on top of an ambulance after going over an embankment. "I was trying to open the door but the doors were jammed, and the guy looked like he was lost," Lizarraga said, adding that the victim"wasn't breathing when I went back to [her]. It looked like [she] wasn't breathing, and after five minutes, [she] started moving and breathing again."
Shoaf faces multiple charges, including gross vehicular manslaughter, and driving under the influence of drugs and causing bodily injury. The court has issued a provisional order of no bail, though he has a bail review hearing is scheduled for June 22.This article tagged under:
