A woman was charged with manslaughter after she sent texts to her boyfriend that boasted of ‘driving drunk’ just minutes before a fatal traffic accident.

Mila Dago allegedly sent messages to her boyfriend that read ‘driving drunk woo’ and ‘I’ll be dead thanks to you’, while drunk behind the wheel of a Smart Car, a court has heard.

She then proceeded to speed through a red light and smashed into a truck driven by Benjamin Byrum, 51.

But while Dago and Byrum were fortunate to survive the crash, 22-year-old Irina Reinoso, Dago’s passenger, was killed.

According to prosecutors, Dago was going through a break-up with her boyfriend at the time of the crash, and she sent a series of angry texts to her ex-boyfriend as she and her friends drove between bars.

Three minutes after sending the last text, she reportedly smashed into the truck in August, 2013, while her blood tests revealed her blood alcohol level to be .178 mg, more than twice the legal limit.

Dago pleaded not guilty to DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide and two separate counts of DUI with damage to a person.

I knew those smart cars weren't safe!

All joking aside, this woman is an idiot. She deserves to lose her license for a very long time, and also to serve jail time for being a self-absorbed, idiotic human being.

Jeez, with friends like that, who needs enemies.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Drunk driving laws are weak throughout the country. Instead of getting the death penalty or life in prison to never see freedom again for what she did it will be a few years in prison and she will be on her marry way driving again. And people want to make pot legal so more can die with these weak laws in place. I think not until we take this much more serious.
