ONLY 4 YEARS FOR DUI AND TAKING A LIFE:

 

A drunk driver who ran over and killed a 28-year-old tow truck driver trying to help a stranded motorist in Temecula was sentenced Thursday to four years in state prison.

 

Danika Lee McGetrick, 20, of Temecula pleaded guilty last month to DUI gross vehicular manslaughter for the 2017 death of Kyle Daniel Crull of Wildomar.

 

According to the California Highway Patrol, McGetrick slammed into Crull with her 2016 Kia Optima as he stood on the shoulder of the southbound I-15 near the Temecula Parkway exit.

 

Investigators said that about 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 21, Crull, an employee of DJ’s Towing Co., had arrived at the location to assist a stranded motorist, who had called the Auto Club for a tow.
