Police said they tried to stop Sanchez, the driver, around 1:30 a.m. for a vehicle code violation in the area of Rosemarie Lane and Piccardo Circle.
Sanchez did not pull over, leading officers on a pursuit. She drove off the road near the Interstate 5 on-ramp at March Lane, police said.
A man in the car was able to escape, police said.
A loaded firearm was found in the car. Sanchez was taken into custody without incident, reports KCRA.
The deadly crash occurred in July 2017 near Los Banos, California.
According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), Obdulia Sanchez is no longer mentioned on the state’s inmate database system, reports ABC30.
The Merced Sun-Star reports that a CDCR official told them Sanchez was scheduled to be released on parole this month.
Last February, a judge sentenced Sanchez to more than six years in prison.
Police say Sanchez was under the influence when she rolled her car over, into a barbed wire fence and then a field. The Merced County Sheriff says 14-year-old Jacqueline Sanchez was killed in the crash near Henry Miller Road and Highway 165. “She was in the back seat of the vehicle and allegedly unseatbelted, and upon the vehicle rolling over, ejected her and killed her,” Sheriff Vern Warnke said. source
“I killed my sister, but I don’t care,” she said in the video. “I killed my sister. I know I’m going to prison, but I don’t care. I’m sorry baby. I’m a hold it down.”
Family members confirm the video was shot by Sanchez. They say the victim, Jacqueline Sanchez of Stockton, was supposed to celebrate her Quinceanera that Sunday.
