A judge sentenced a woman to 10 years in prison for a deadly drunk driving crash in El Dorado County in which she failed to tell authorities about her boyfriend, a passenger ejected from the vehicle and found dead by a passerby the following afternoon along the highway.

Prosecutors said Chambers and her boyfriend had just attended a family wedding, and Chambers was driving the Mercedes sport utility vehicle at a high rate of speed. The Mercedes struck the rear end of the Toyota Prius before crashing into a guardrail, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Visman was ejected from the SUV through an open window and killed instantly.

Chambers did not tell the officers she had a passenger with her in the Mercedes during the crash, the CHP said. She was arrested and booked at the jail that same night. Shortly after 3 p.m. the following day, CHP officers were called to an area near Highway 50 and Mosquito Road for a report of a possible body found in the bushes on the other side of a guardrail. A passerby had spotted the body.

“Additionally, at the scene, the investigating officer specifically asked Chambers if she was driving alone, and she indicated she was,” the CHP has said in the news release.

Chambers was then re-arrested on the vehicular manslaughter charge in Visman’s death.
