Bond Set For Accused Drunk Driver In Deadly New Mexico Crash

A $150,000 cash-only bond has been set for suspected drunk driver accused in an Albuquerque crash that killed three people.

Jacob Jaramillo's bond was set during a court appearance Monday. It's unclear if he has a lawyer yet.

Albuquerque police say the 23-year-old Jaramillo was driving on Interstate 25 early Sunday and his vehicle collided with a car at the Interstate 40 frontage road.

Police say the other car was carrying three people. Two died at the scene and a third died at a hospital.

They identified those killed as 27-year-old Roberto Mendez, 23-year-old Sergio Mendez-Aguirre and 20-year-old Grace Sinfield.

Police say Jaramillo was extremely intoxicated at the time of the crash.

He's facing three counts of vehicular homicide and one count each of aggravated DWI and red light violation.
