ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT GETS PRISON FOR DUI CRASH

An illegal immigrant convicted of second degree murder in a drunk driving crash has been sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.

Gustavo De La Cruz also admitted to being high on meth when he hit Taylor Embree head-on at Commanche Drive near Breckenridge Road east of Bakersfield in 2013.

De La Cruz was on probation for another DUI at the time of the accident. He faces an additional 10 years behind bars for gross vehicular manslaughter if he’s paroled.
