A 22-year-old Riverside County man is on trial for murder in connection with the 2006 deaths of a Moreno Valley couple in an alleged DUI / DWI crash.

Witnesses have testified at Victor Gabriel Mendibles’ trial that he was driving an estimated 100 mph when his truck smashed into a Toyota Camry with a family of four inside, killing the parents of two teenage girls instantly.

Under California law, DUI defendants can be charged with second-degree murder if they are likely to have known that their conduct could result in death.

Riverside County Superior Court officials say that initial reports that a Palm Springs transit official’s blood alcohol content was nearly twice the legal limit after a DUI / DWI arrest were incorrect.

Charles Oglesby, the general manager of the SunLine Transit Agency, was arrested on suspicion of DUI / DWI on July 3 and the Riverside County Superior Court’s website reported that his BAC was .15, nearly twice the legal limit. However, court officials now say that figure was incorrect because of a clerical error, but are refusing to release the correct figure.
