A motorist who allegedly was drunk when he got into a Mother’s Day crash that killed a pregnant woman, then summoned a Lyft driver give him a ride to a bar, was behind bars Monday on suspicion of DUI, vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run.
Andrew Dorian Milonis, 44, was heading east on San Vicente Road when his 2011 GMC Yukon pickup truck rear-ended a 2016 Dodge Dart near Arena Drive about 6:45 p.m. Sunday in Ramona, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The impact sent the car veering into a center median, where it struck a tree, fatally injuring the driver, 29-year-old Jessica Foderingham, who was eight months pregnant. The Ramona resident and her unborn daughter were pronounced dead at a hospital.
Milonis allegedly fled following the collision, then abandoned his vehicle about a mile away and called for a Lyft driver to give him a ride to a bar on Main Street, CHP public-affairs Officer Kevin Pearlstein said. Deputies found him at the tavern about an hour later and arrested him.
Milonis, a Ramona resident, was booked into San Diego Central Jail. He was being held on $1 million bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
