A woman facing homicide charges in a crash that killed five people had been warned by doctors not to drive until she saw a neurologist after a 2006 seizure-like episode — but she never went to see the specialist, according to court documents.

Monica Chavez, 24, told investigators she never went because “she and her family could not afford a specialist,” according to an arrest affidavit made avalable today.

Chavez’s medical records show entries stating that she should not drive until cleared by a neurologist.

Records also show that she signed discharge papers that admonished her to see a neurologist.

Chavez faces five counts of criminally negligent homicide in the Feb. 17 deaths of Randy Stollsteimer, 34, his wife Crystal, 31, and their three sons, Sebastian, 12, Darrian, 9, and Cyrus, 7.

In addition to the 2006 seizure, the affidavit alleges another similar episode in a parking lot in approximately August 2010.

In each case, Chavez insisted she was simply dehydrated and had pushed herself “too hard.”
