A Broomfield man with five prior DUI arrests received a prison sentence Friday for his sixth offense, a crash last December which killed a mother and her teenage son.
A judge ordered Jose Menjivar, 38, to two dozen years in the Colorado Department of Corrections. Menjivar now heads to courtrooms in Denver and Boulder where he violated terms of his probation in two previous DUI cases.
On December 12, 2023, Menjivar’s Toyota Tundra crossed double-yellow centerlines and sped past other southbound cars approaching the intersection of Main Street and Miramonte Boulevard in Broomfield. Menjivar was driving between 80 and 100 miles per hour in the 40mph zone, according to witnesses statements collected later from other drivers.
