Drunk driver kills two in compo Hummer

Friday, 21 November 2008

A woman who bought a Hummer with compensation she got when her partner was killed by a drunken driver has been charged with killing two people - while driving drunk.

Yvonne Sinclair, 29, of Rancho Cucamonga, California, faces up to 15 years in prison.

A data recorder in her car indicated it was doing 80 mph the moment before the crash and the accelerator was wide open when she ploughed into another car.
