Dylan Shane Rutherford, 21, of Simi Valley faces two felony counts each of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and hit-and-run driving resulting in death, the DA’s office reported. Brothers Hector, 44, and Ernesto Castro, 42, both died in the crash, prosecutors said.

On Oct. 7 around 10:40 p.m., prosecutors said Rutherford was driving a pickup truck while under the influence and ran a red light near the intersection of De Soto Avenue and Chatsworth Street. According to prosecutors, Rutherford’s truck slammed into a second truck, causing it to overturn and catch fire.

If convicted as charged, Rutherford faces a possible maximum sentence of 19 years in state prison.
