A 19-year-old Oakland woman facing at least two counts of manslaughter after a crash Monday night that killed two people, including a pregnant woman, is also facing a charge of unlicensed driving

According a California Highway Patrol spokesman, the crash occurred at 11:11 p.m. on Interstate Highway 580 near the Altamont Pass in Alameda County, just east of North Flynn Road, when Laurin Heggie looked back to speak to a rear passenger.

Heggie reportedly was driving a 1988 Buick at 72 mph. CHP Officer Steve Creel said Heggie, who has a driving permit, had two 18-year-olds in the car though her permit requires that she drive with a person much older.

As the Buick began to drift out of its lane, it sideswiped a 1996 Ford. The Ford rolled over several times before coming to rest in two lanes of traffic, the CHP reported.

The 24-year-old driver, identified by the CHP as Marlinda Grable of Modesto, was killed. Her 20-year-old passenger, Christopher Solano of Modesto, also died.

Grable's 7-year-old son and a 17-year-old suffered minor injuries in the crash, Creel said.

Grable was pregnant, but it has not been determined how far along she was, said Creel. An autopsy is planned for later today.

Creel said Heggie is being held in Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of manslaughter and driving without a license. She could face a third manslaughter charge when it is determined how far along Grable's pregnancy was.

Maybe I'm just reading that wrong, but what about the innocents that were killed due to her stupidity? What about their lives? Insignificant?

Article says she had a learner's permit. What the hell is she doing on 580 unsupervised at 11pm? Stupidity doesn't require alcohol.

End result - 2 dead bodies, an unborn child, and a kid without his mom. All because some dumbass wasn't paying attention. Like I said, I hope she burns.

and if you were driving along, didn't see someone in your blind spot, and caused a fatal pileup, you should 'burn' as well? trust me i'm not saying she is innocent or should walk away from this. but i am saying that it could have happened to anyone of us

If my blind spot comes from me turning around to talk to a passenger in the back seat, then yeah I should burn too. Happy?

The dumb c|_|nt turned around to talk to a backseat passenger. Now little boy is going to grow up without a mom. and if she wasn't married and hadden't provided for him in her will, that kid is going to be even more screwed up by going into the state system. The driver at fault should have at the very least, her arms and legs removed from her body and be beaten to death with those appendages.
