Little girl killed and father seriously injured when drunk driver rams into them while visiting gravesite

A 13-month-old girl was killed and her father seriously injured when a car struck them at a Sacramento cemetery as they visited a family grave. Police say the driver was intoxicated; the case has prompted felony charges and renewed attention to the consequences of impaired driving.

The girl’s father, Joshua Mazur, suffered broken ribs and fractures to his nose and skull and is recovering in hospital. Miguel Landeros Guzman, 50, was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter while under the influence, DUI causing injury, hit-and-run and child endangerment; prosecutors allege he was speeding and lost control. He remains in custody on $450,000 bail, and a bail review hearing was scheduled for Friday. The child’s mother said the family had recently celebrated her first birthday and had raised $31,755 towards medical expenses.
