According to court records, Lee told California Highway Patrol officers she was driving at an unknown speed when she briefly took her eyes off the road to look down and was changing music on the radio. Her vehicle, a Genesis G80 sedan, then rear ended a silver Toyota Corolla driven by Erwin Jacob Patawaran Lecitona, who suffered major head injuries, the court documents say.

Oswaldo Alvarez Galeano, 56, was struck and killed by a Toyota Matrix as he ran across Meadow Lane in Concord a little before 8 p.m. on Dec. 12, authorities said. A 41-year-old woman, the suspected driver, stayed at the scene and was booked on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter. She was later released from custody and has not been charged, court records show.
