Jesus Carlos Temores, 50, faces two counts of murder in the deaths of 29-year-old Rachel Marie Gonzalez Gallegos and her five-month-old fetus, according to court records.
Prosecutors charged Temores with a count of driving under the influence causing injury for the injuries suffered by the man driving the vehicle in which Gonzalez Gallegos was riding.
The murder charges were filed using a Watson murder theory, which applies to defendants with prior DUI convictions and implies malice due to their awareness of the dangers.
The CHP reported that around 6:30 p.m. Temores was driving a GMC pickup, crossed the double-yellow lines, and caused a head-on crash that resulted in fatalities.
