Description
Defendant, Jose Domian Mascarenas, was convicted pursuant to C.R.S. 1963, 40-2-10, of causing the death of another by driving an automobile in a reckless manner while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. Defendant having waived the jury, the trial was to the court. Testimony at the trial indicated that defendant, while driving south on Highway 285, suddenly left the southbound lane and entered the northbound lane. The northbound lane was occupied by a car traveling north and containing one passenger besides its driver. The defendant did not attempt to turn back into his proper lane, causing the two cars to collide almost head-on. The passenger in the northbound vehicle was killed as a result of the collision. At the point of the accident the highway was straight, the weather was clear, and the roads dry. Besides the driver of the northbound vehicle, two eyewitnesses not involved in the accident gave essentially the same account of these events.
