LOS BANOS, CALIFORNIA (March 30, 2018) – Tyler Nielson, 17-years-old, and Justin Gardner, 16-years-old were tragically killed from a car crash after being hit by a drunk driver.
At 11:50 a.m. Sunday morning, a 2015 Honda, driven by Sabrina Distura, was traveling northbound on Interstate 5, north of State Route 156. She veered across the dirt median and collided with a 2008 Nissan that was driving southbound. Three teenagers from Nevada were in the Nissan and Nielson and Gardener were tragically killed as a result of the crash. The third 16-year-old sustained major injuries, including a broken hip.
Nielson and Gardner attended Nevada Union High School. They were part of a three-car caravan heading to Pismo Beach on the Central Cost for spring break.
CHP reports confirm that alcohol was a factor in the collision. Distura sustained moderate injuries from the collision and has been arrested on felony driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter charges.
