The teenager crashed the vehicle into a barbed wire fence and it flipped over, killing her 14-year-old sister who was sitting in the backseat without a seatbelt. Another girl, Manuela Seja, was also ejected from the car during the crash but survived with trauma to her right leg.

After the crash, Sanchez went on Instagram and posted a live video where she's heard saying, "Jacqueline, please wake up."

"I f**king killed my sister, OK? I know I'm going to jail for life," Sanchez said in the video. "I killed my sister. I know I'm going to prison, but I don't care. I'm sorry, baby. I'm a hold it down."

Nicandro Sanchez said he doesn't think his daughter knew exactly what happened the moment after the crash.

"What I think is she knows she's done something wrong. Because she knows, and that's what I feel. She feels bad for herself, but she killed her own sister," Sanchez said.

The father said he was aware that his older daughter drank alcohol, but never saw her do so in person.
