ROSEVILLE, CA - A Sacramento father was killed, his wife and son injured and a Roseville man faces DUI charges following a head-on crash in Roseville early Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash happened on Baseline Road just west of Fiddyment Road around 1:15 a.m. Sunday, Auburn CHP spokesman David Martinez said.
Martinez said a Cadillac being driven by Julian Martinez, 40, of Roseville was traveling eastbound when the vehicle veered into the westbound lane and hit a Ford Windstar head on.
The driver of that car, Manuel Espinoza, 65, of Sacramento, was killed. His wife Enedina, 61, suffered minor injuries, while the couple's son, David Espinoza, 27, was taken to Sutter-Roseville Medical Center with major injuries.
Julian Martinez told officers that he fell asleep behind the wheel before the crash, Martinez said. Julian Martinez was arrested and was expected to face felony DUI and manslaughter charges. He is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 3 in Placer County Court in Auburn.
