The family of a little girl killed when her family’s van was hit by a vehicle driven by a Santa Fe, N.M., surgeon suspected of driving drunk has filed a wrongful death suit against the doctor and her insurance company.
Dr. Deborah Aaron was arrested by Santa Fe police after the Dec. 30 crash that killed 4-year-old Yuliana Aremi Reyes Vasquez. Aaron, 56, has pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide, but the district attorney has not filed an indictment to move the case forward. She is free on a $100,000 bond.
In court documents, police have said the little girl’s mother wasn’t sure if she had a green light and they have conflicting witness reports.
The Albuquerque Journal reports the lawsuit filed on the family’s behalf flatly says the girl’s mother, Karla Aremi Vasquez Rivera, had the green light when she entered the intersection after first stopping at a red light.
