Cindy Rivera, 21, is also charged with negligent homicide with a motor vehicle, speeding, failure to drive in the proper lane on a mutli-lane highway, and operating a motor vehicle without having a driver’s license.
According to the affidavit, a passenger in Rivera’s car, 17-year-old Kelvin Munoz, told an officer at the scene Rivera went around a corner too fast and her car went out of control.
The affidavit says Rivera’s car was examined by Jordan Ranney, a mechanic certified by the National Institute of Automatic Excellence and the manager of the Weston Center Service Station, 199 Weston Rd.
Ranney allegedly found Rivera’s car had mismatched tires, with the front tires having different heights and the left rear tire being narrower than the right rear tire. Ranney found the brake pads on Rivera’s car were worn to their limit but were still functional, the affidavit says.
