New Year’s
Day 2014 was supposed to be a new beginning for all. That was not the case
for two people in Morgan Hill California. About 2:30 p.m. according to
authorities, Esteban Sanchez was driving on East Dunne Avenue in Morgan Hill
under the influence. He crashed his Mazda 3 into a pregnant woman’s car and
drove off. Then he proceeded crash into a fire hydrant at Butterfield Boulevard
at Barrett Avenue. He fled his car and ran into an industrial area of Caputo
Drive where the police arrested him. Why in the world was he still driving? He
had four previous arrests for suspicion of driving under the influence. What
are the authorities waiting for someone to die? They should have taken this
menace off the street after his second D.U.I. He is in custody without bail and
is due in court on Monday January 6th. As for the pregnant woman
there is no information on how she is doing. I pray that her baby and she are
doing well. 23 year old Esteban Sanchez of San Jose should never be permitted
to drive a vehicle again. He is a danger to everyone on the road drivers and
pedestrians alike. Authorities are asking anyone who saw anything to contact
Morgan Hill police Detective Jeff Tacazon at 408-779-2101 or the anonymous
Crime Stoppers tip line at 408-947-7867.
