SAN RAMON — A 27-year-old Pleasanton man has been charged with murder in connection with a DUI-related crash over the weekend in San Ramon, prosecutors said.
Badal Devendra Dholaria is set to be arraigned Thursday afternoon on a five-count felony complaint, according to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office.
In addition to murder, he is charged with two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and two counts of driving with a .08% blood alcohol content causing injury.
Prosecutors said the DUI-related offenses each come with enhancements alleging great bodily injury.
The two-car crash happened around 3:25 p.m. Saturday on Crow Canyon Road. A 41-year-old Castro Valley woman was killed and a 40-year-old Castro Valley man was injured.
The woman, who was riding in the passenger seat of a Ford Bronco, has not been publicly identified.
“If you’re impaired, don’t drive,” District Attorney Diana Becton said in a statement. “Every time you get behind the wheel under the influence, you’re gambling with lives.”
