San Diego mom sues after suspected DUI crash-turned-electrical fire killed daughter

The daughter tried to push a crashed car off electrical boxes, which sent hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity through her body and set her on fireA San Diego mom is suing San Diego Gas & Electric, the city and county of San Diego and Caltrans after her daughter was killed when a suspected DUI driver crashed with an electrical box last summer.

Turner said she doesn’t know how long it may have taken to find out about her daughter if she didn’t go out there herself. “I was floored,” said Turner’s lawyer Dante Pride. “I mean, there should never be a chance for a citizen to come in contact with that much electricity… Hundreds of thousands of volts.”Turner worked for SDG&E for 20 years.
