FONTANA - A Phelan man who plowed into a family on bicycles in Rialto while driving drunk - killing a little girl weeks before her second birthday - has been was sentenced to 19 years in state prison.
Jesse Rolando Astorga appeared in Fontana Superior Court for sentencing proceedings on Friday, after he pleaded guilty Sept. 9 to five felony counts as part of a plea bargain.
Rialto police say Astorga fled from a fender bender with another car in June 2008, when he ran his 2008 Honda Pilot into a median on South Willow Avenue a few minutes after noon, veered to the right, jumped a curb and struck a family of four riding on the sidewalk.
