Bail Granted for Drunk Driver Accused of Killing Cyclist | Bakersfield News

A woman accused of drunk driving, hitting a 66-year-old cyclist in a crosswalk, and fleeing the scene faces serious charges — her blood alcohol level was .245, far over the limit. While the defense argued for bail based on a Supreme Court ruling and proposed strict conditions like an ankle monitor and AA meetings, prosecutors pushed for no bail due to the severity. The court ultimately granted $110K bail with strict terms: monitor, random tests, AA meetings, and no driving. The victim’s family was visibly present, and the case serves as a stark warning about the deadly consequences of impaired driving. She returns to court in September.
