(AP) - Authorities have released the name of a California girl killed in a crash that occurred as her older sister was livestreaming while driving the car.
Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke identified the girl Monday as 14-year-old Jacqueline Sanchez of Stockton.
Authorities say she was ejected Friday from the car that flipped over after veering off a San Joaquin Valley road.
Her 18-year-old sister Obdulia Sanchez was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and vehicular manslaughter.
A recording of the livestream shows the driver shaking the girl after the crash and saying she was sorry.
Merced County prosecutor Rob Carroll says video of the livestream will be a key piece of evidence.
Neither Sanchez nor an attorney representing her could be reached for comment.
