Motorist with DUI history charged with vehicular murder.
Viet Quoc Nguyen, 25, will face vehicular-homicide, drunken-driving and other charges in a hit-and-run accident that killed a 21-year-old Westminster woman early Saturday.
Police said 21-year-old Jenna Breen was killed at West 118th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard in Westminster when Nguyen sped through a red light in his Porsche and slammed into the driver's side of her car.
The Adams County district attorney's office said Thursday that Nguyen also is charged with leaving the scene of an accident, driving under a license restraint and violation of a traffic-control signal.
Nguyen, of Federal Heights, had three drunken-driving arrests between between 2006 and 2011, court records show. He also had prior convictions for underage drinking, receiving stolen property, driving with a suspended license, drug dealing, theft, disorderly conduct and drug possession.
