Booking records show Annabell Aleyna Correa, who spent the
week hospitalized after the March 16 crash, was arrested late Friday afternoon. She's being held on more than $2 million bail and is due in court Tuesday.
Correa was booked on two counts of second-degree murder, four counts related to driving drunk and causing injury, failing to stop at a red light and driving without a license, records show.
Police say the crash occurred at about 1:37 a.m. when Correa's white Hyundai collided with a vehicle carrying Max Austin Mooney and Desiree Paula Noelle Mooney, both 30, at the intersection of Coffee Road and Stockdale Highway.
The couple went out for a drink Saturday night and were taking an Uber home. Max Mooney was declared dead at the scene, and Desiree Mooney was later pronounced dead at Kern Medical, coroner's officials said.
