A 29-year-old woman was tragically killed in Costa Mesa on July 7, 2020, after a collision allegedly caused by a drunk driver. She was one of two passengers riding in an Uber vehicle at the time of the crash. The Uber driver and the second passenger were both treated for injuries sustained in the incident.
According to the Costa Mesa Police Department, 19-year-old Porfirio Sandoval struck the Uber vehicle as it was exiting the Huddle Bar. Sandoval was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI after receiving medical treatment at Hoag Hospital. He is being held on $100,000 bail. The case remains under investigation, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact Officer Crystal Cordero at 714-754-5264.
