The stolen-car driver and her passenger who were shot and killed by CHP officers during a high-speed pursuit July 7 were high on methamphetamine and morphine, toxicology tests have revealed.
The driver, Sharon Mello, 48, had extremely high levels of methamphetamine and morphine in her system, Fresno County Coroner David Hadden said Friday.
The drugs would have caused erratic behavior, he said.
Mello’s passenger, Keith Cervelli, 57, was high on methamphetamine, tests showed.
“These people were seriously affected by the level of drugs in their systems,” Hadden said.
