A 21-year-old woman who struck a 5-year-old girl near Liberty Station in September 2025 has pleaded guilty to felony driving under the influence of alcohol and causing great bodily injury.<\/p>\n
The driver, Savannah Monique Taylor, 21, faces a nine-year prison term, said District Attorney spokesperson Tanya Sierra on Thursday, May 7. <\/p>\n
The 5-year-old victim, known as Olive T., had emergency brain surgery at Rady Children\u2019s Hospital, and her medical condition is currently unknown but will be revealed at Taylor\u2019s June 4 sentencing.<\/p>\n
A detective testified at the preliminary hearing that she had \u201ca long list of injuries,\u201d including a liver laceration.<\/p>\n
According to testimony, Taylor was driving a BMW and got onto a pedestrian path near the USS Recruit in Point Loma. Taylor struck a steel sidewalk bench and then careened into Olive, who was riding her scooter on the sidewalk. Police found a near-empty bottle of Hennessy inside the car.<\/p>\n
In addition to the felony charges, Taylor also faces domestic violence charges in Chula Vista Superior Court, which are pending. A prosecutor said that the charge also involves alcohol. Taylor remains in the Las Colinas Women\u2019s Detention Facility on $175,000 bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 21-year-old woman who struck a 5-year-old girl near Liberty Station in September 2025 has pleaded guilty to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[16931,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-306390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-drunk-driving","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
