3 die in 8-car crash blamed on drunken driver

Three Bay Area residents on their way home from a funeral were killed in an eight-car pileup on Highway 101 in Monterey County that police are blaming on a drunken driver.

Vivian Ramirez, 42, lost control of her southbound Ford SUV, swerved across the dirt median and slammed into the family's two-car caravan near Jolon Road, said Highway Patrol Officer Zoltan Treiner.

Ramirez was intoxicated and lost control of the car after reaching for her cell phone just before the Wednesday night crash, police said.
