Jesus Cancino Garcia, 27, pleaded no contest to a charge of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in the October 2023 crash that killed 23-year-old Anjali Nand. He was sentenced in April, after hearing a statement from Nand\u2019s mother, court records show.<\/p>\n

Cancino Garcia was transferred to prison in June, records show. Before he was sentenced, he submitted two apology letters \u2014 one to the court, the other to Nand\u2019s family, in which he offered an apology \u201cfrom the bottom of my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease understand, I am not asking you to forgive me, I am anguished by the harm I have done\u2026I am so very utterly sorry that this occurred,\u201d Cancino Garcia wrote. It was never my intention to harm anyone. I wish only that I would have stayed home that mournful night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nand, listed in court filings as a Santa Rosa resident, had recently graduated from Sonoma State University and was planning to start law school around the time of her death, according to social media postings. She was a passenger in a BMW that was stuck head-on by Cancino Garcia\u2019s vehicle at around 1:15 a.m. Oct. 14, 2023, on Interstate 680 in Fremont, according to court records.<\/p>\n

Cancino Garcia and the driver of the BMW were both hospitalized with serious injuries. Authorities later determined that Cancino Garcia was drunk behind the wheel and got onto the freeway heading in the wrong direction, causing the crash.<\/p>\n
