The four women were touring vineyards in a limousine to celebrate a friend’s birthday when Pino tried to make a U-Turn and was hit by a truck driven by Steven Romeo. Four other women, including a bride-to-be, and both drivers were hurt in the crash.

Romeo was arrested on drunken driving charges after the fatal crash. He was also indicted on DWI charges, but a grand jury declined to charge him with manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide, authorities said.
