The driver’s teal Pontiac sedan was moving so fast and the impact was so forceful that one of the man’s legs was ripped from his torso at the waist, flew through the back window and landed on the trunk of her car, KNSD reported.

The rest of his body slammed into the front windshield, shattering it and leaving him “impaled into the vehicle,” according to Brandt. He crashed through the window such that the top of his head rested on the passenger seat while his body remain lodged in the jagged hole in the windshield.

The driver continued — with the man’s body in the car and his severed leg on the vehicle’s trunk — for more than a kilometre, riding along the sidewalk at one point and crashing through residential landscaping, before coming to rest in a cul-de-sac, where she parked the car, got out and walked to her nearby house, KGTV reported.

When she arrived home, her husband contacted paramedics and the Oceanside Police Department.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

At the scene of the collision, police found the victim’s shoes and pants, which contained keys and identification, alongside shards of Sanchez’s windshield. Police then questioned Sanchez, who admitted to drinking and driving, Brandt told The Post.

She has been booked into the Vista Detention Facility for felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter. It remains unclear if she has retained a lawyer, according to the Associated Press.
