Teen Killed on Easter Sunday By Alleged Drunk Driver Identified

FAIRFIELD, CA- The Sacramento County coroner's office has identified a San Pablo teen who died after she was struck by a vehicle on the side of Interstate Highway 80 on Saturday as 18-year-old Breanna McKneely.

McKneely and Dujuan Pines, 34, of Fairfield, were standing outside a disabled 1996 Ford Mustang on the right shoulder of eastbound Highway 80 near the scales at the Cordelia Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility around 7:50 p.m. Saturday, California Highway Patrol officials said.

Marc Crawley, 46, of Suisun City, was driving east on I-80 when he lost control of his 1968 Ford Mustang, which struck and pushed the disabled Mustang into McKneely and Pines, according to the CHP.

Crawley's Mustang continued across all lanes of traffic before striking the center median and stopping in the far left lane, according to the CHP.

All three people suffered major or severe injuries and were taken to NorthBay Medical Center in Fairfield, CHP officials said.

McKneely was then flown to UC Davis Medical Center, where she died at 12:43 a.m. Sunday, according to the Sacramento County coroner's office.

Crawley was arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI.

The collision closed the highway until 10 p.m. Saturday, CHP officials said.
