Southern California mother killed in DUI crash, children …
New details were released Tuesday after a Hesperia mother was killed by a suspected DUI driver who slammed head-on into her car.
On May 11, 36-year-old Lisette Villasenor and two of her children were driving along Highway 395, just north of Poplar Street, when an SUV driver swerved into oncoming traffic, striking Villasenor’s car, authorities said.
The SUV driver was identified as Jose Vargas, 41, from Adelanto, by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
The collision killed Lisette and left her two children with serious injuries. Police said Vargas had several prior DUI convictions before the fatal crash that killed Villasenor. Lisette's family is devastated and believes the crash could’ve been prevented.
