Overview

  • Prosecutors charged Tiffany Sanchez, 32, with gross vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run causing death, and she entered a not-guilty plea in San Diego Superior Court.
  • In court, the deputy district attorney alleged Sanchez struck Hudson O’Loughlin, paused, then accelerated through the alley and ran him over again without calling 911.
  • Judge Steven Stone raised bail from $50,000 to $150,000 and remanded Sanchez, with conditions requiring GPS monitoring and no driving if she posts bail.
  • A bystander’s photo of the vehicle led investigators to arrest Sanchez about three hours after the crash at her National City home, and prosecutors say her license has been suspended since 2017.
  • The boy’s family retained civil counsel to examine additional liability and roadway safety near Pacific Beach Drive, and the next criminal hearing is scheduled for Feb. 4.
