Early Thursday morning, Oct. 23, CHP Woodland responded to a two-car crash on County Road 112 and County Road 17 in Woodland.
Mario Navarro Dominguez, 2023 Yolo County District Attorney's OfficeEstela Vargas, 70, was behind the wheel, driving her husband and son into Woodland.

Estela Vargas (middle), her son and husband GoFundMeOn Wednesday, Navarro Dominguez appeared in Yolo County Superior Court. He was arraigned not only on charges of DUI and driving without a license, but for murder. He pleaded not guilty in court.
"If you engage in reckless behavior that has a high likelihood of causing death or great bodily injury, and that actually results, you can be charged with murder in California. That's the basis for the charge," Reisig said.
In 2017, he was charged with DUI, driving without a license and hit-and-run with property damage. In 2023, he was charged with DUI, evading a peace officer with reckless driving and resisting arrest.
In addition, Navarro Dominguez has served time out of state on vehicular homicide charges.
Wednesday at Navarro Dominguez's arraignment, the Vargas family was successful in asking the judge to keep the accused killer behind bars.
"It was also significant that the defendant is not in the country legally. He's been deported twice before. He would be a flight risk if he was released," Reisig said.
Attempts by CBS Sacramento to reach to Vargas family on Wednesday were unsuccessful.
"We will be with the victim's family until the end," Reisig said.
His sentence, if convicted of these crimes, would be life in prison.
