KSEE reports The 18-year-year admitted to filming herself driving many times on Snapchat and Instagram without crashing her car, but her video on July 21 ended differently when the recording captured her 14-year-old sister die.
Sanchez was under the influence when she lost control of her car, rolling over into a barbed wire fence. Jacqueline, and another 14-year-old passenger, who hurt her leg, were both thrown from the car.
According to NBC News, the live-stream captured Sanchez reacting to the crash when she dialed 911:
"I f-----g killed my sister, OK? I know I'm going to …show more content…
Everybody does. They take Snapchats. Everybody does it. Why not? People take video of them in cars like all the time. And I'm only 18 – we're still young.”
Death threats have come her way since the accident killed her sister, which she believes is hurtful to her parents who want her back in their house:
“You're only going to make my parents suffer more. You're not going to help anybody else. My parents are grieving. They want me back home. The house is super lonely without us. We were like the joy of the house.”
Sanchez defended her unemotional response for being behind the wheel with the record button going in what ended up being the last minutes of her sister's life:
“Just because I'm not crying a river now on the phone, [it] doesn't mean I'm not remorseful.”
Sanchez expressed regret, claiming she would do that day differently if she could:
“If I would've known that was going to happen that day, I would've never left the house – ever.”
She currently remains behind bars, being held on $300,000 bail for her sister's death after pleading not guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter and drunk
