A Chula Vista driver will be sentenced Jan. 28 for DUI with injuries to three other people in a head-on crash in which her vehicle caught fire after running a red light.
Rachel Julian Fogle, 41, who is also known as Rachel Ballesteros and Rachel Warren, faces a 1-year jail term after her blood/alcohol level tested .26, which is over three times the legal limit, according to court records.
Fogle ran a red light while driving a black Hyundai Elantra on Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach at 1:55 p.m. on Sept. 9. She struck a white Toyota Camry, which then struck a parked Chevrolet Malibu.
The crash sent a couple to the hospital with serious injuries and a relative, Joshua Fogle, 44, of Chula Vista, was also hospitalized with a head injury.
Rachel Fogle was also injured in the crash. She was driving at the approximate speed of 50-60 mph when she drove through a red light, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
The speed limit on Garnet Avenue is 25 mph.
DUI charges were filed Sept. 20 in San Diego Superior Court and she was arrested at her Chula Vista home. Rachel Fogle is free on $250,000 bond on condition she wears a SCRAM device that checks for alcohol consumption.
She pleaded guilty to driving with a measurable blood/alcohol level with injuries to three others. She will be sentenced by Judge Kathleen Lewis on Jan. 28, 2019.
Fogle’s attorney acknowledged that she injured multiple victims and she initialed a form that said she has a prior DUI conviction.
