Hearing moved to July for driver charged in crash that killed Bakersfield married couple
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A preliminary hearing was postponed to mid-July in the case of a woman accused of driving drunk and hitting a rideshare vehicle, killing a married couple.
Paul Brar, the attorney representing Anabell Aleyna Correa, was granted the postponement Monday after telling the court he has a trial starting in Los Angeles that would conflict with the previously scheduled June 9 date.
The hearing is now set for July 16.

Correa, 21, is facing two counts of second-degree murder, among other charges.
She's accused of driving drunk early March 16 and running a red light, colliding with a rideshare vehicle carrying Max Austin Mooney and Desiree Paula Noelle Mooney, both 30.
Max Mooney died at the scene. Desiree Mooney was pronounced dead at Kern Medical.
Correa had a blood-alcohol content of 0.088%, above the legal limit of 0.08%, according to a court filing. She showed signs of being intoxicated — including slurred speech and bloodshot eyes — and told police she drank two 24-ounce cans of Twisted Tea, which contains alcohol, the filing says.
