Salinas, California – The California Highway Patrol has identified Krystal Cortez, 38, as the woman severely hurt following a deadly DUI accident on Saturday afternoon in Salinas.
The collision occurred on southbound Highway 101, south of Laurel Drive.

Krystal sustained severe abdominal contusions and was rushed to Natividad Medical Center.
Narez and two young kids riding in his vehicle were not hurt in the accident.
