A 31-year-old Costa Mesa man was due for his first appearance in court Wednesday in connection with an alleged alcohol-fueled crash that killed a woman in March 2022.
Ramiro Rodriguezsegura was charged March 5 with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, driving under the influence of alcohol causing bodily injury, and driving with a blood alcohol level at or above the legal limit of .08%, all felonies. He also faces sentencing enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury on the victim.
Rodriguezsegura was arrested by Costa Mesa police on Monday, according to court records. His arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday in the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana.
Rodriguezsegura is accused of killing Paula Ramirez in the collision on March 6, 2022, according to court records. His blood-alcohol level was .15, or nearly twice the legal limit, the criminal complaint alleges.
Further details about the collision and the victim were not immediately available from prosecutors or the California Highway Patrol.
