On August 22, 2019 Betty Guevara Moreno pled guilty to Intoxication Manslaughter, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. On December 6, 2015 Moreno crashed her vehicle into a semi- truck, causing the death of her passenger, Jose Mejia. Moreno’s blood tested positive for methamphetamine the night of the crash. Moreno’s sister was also injured in the crash. It has been a long road to justice for the family in this case, and it is our sincerest hope that this sentence can provide some closure, and allow the family to move forward and heal.
It is important to remember that intoxication can be caused by illegal drugs as well as prescription drugs, not just alcohol. Please be safe when driving, and consider the safety of yourself and others on the roadways when getting behind the wheel of a vehicle
