The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office has filed murder charges against a Concord woman suspected of driving the wrong way on Interstate Highway 680 in Danville earlier this month and colliding with another car, killing two people.
Camille Vera-Anne Kimball, 27, was charged Tuesday with two counts of murder, two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, one county of driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and one count of driving with a blood-alcohol content of at least .08 percent while causing injury.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Kimball was driving her 2020 Ford Fusion south in the northbound lanes of Highway 680 near El Pintado Road in Danville around 3:45 a.m. on June 7.
Kimball then collided with a 2012 Honda Civic driven by 46-year-old Nettie Perkett, with 26-year-old Taurean Lee as the passenger.
Both Perkett and Lee died at the scene, according to the CHP. Kimball was taken to Walnut Creek’s John Muir Medical Center for treatment and was subsequently arrested.
Kimball’s bail is set at $2.6 million, according to the district attorney’s office.
Thank goodness!
I see nothing to be thankful of. An awful incident that took the lives of two individuals unfortunately requires that the 27 year old perpetrator spend the rest of her life in prison.
It’s what had to happen, but it’s nothing to cheer about
@Duck Quill Second that!
According to the pinko E B Times she was driving drunk and naked.
Must’ve a been heck of a date.
I wonder how many eggplants she Slobbered on that night
bd, you’re just being nasty
Well, she was so drunk that she was speeding, NAKED, ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE FREE WAY AT 3:45AM!!!! OBVIOUSLY SHE WAS A NASTY PERSON. I ESTIMATE 3-4 EGGPLANTS THAT NIGHT
BD, you probably think you are funny but you’re just creepy.

That is the right charge to make. She is pathetic. Murder is exactly the truth. There is far too much information out there to let people know what happens when you drink and drive. Therefore, NO EXCUSE
Upon conviction: Life w/o
She will get 10 years max if she plea bargains, like the woman who killed the Father and baby on South Broadway in WC.
Probably out way sooner though if she has good behavior.
I personally think she should be charged with murder, but unless she has previous DUI charges, they’re overcharging her, and it’s harder to get a conviction.
Exactly what I was thinking. She could be found not guilty of murder and walk.
That’s why they’re throwing all kinds of charges at her. If they can’t get a conviction on murder, they’ve already got a slew of lesser charges( manslaughter, dui causing injury, etc)

What if she didn’t DUI, but instead went the La Veranda in Clayton and didn’t wear a mask. If she was an asymptomatic carrier and infected two people and they died. Would you all still dislike her so much? I mean, she was just exercising her freedoms, right?
There are laws against DUI to protect OTHER PEOPLE, not you as the impaired driver. Just like wearing a mask. You wear a mask to protect OTHER PEOPLE.
Well, you just keep dong you and comparing apples and oranges.
Just think…when you get done defunding the police we can all drive drunk in the wrong direction on the highway — without masks.
I think that is a fair comparison, of course you don’t charge somebody with murder for not wearing a mask. However, the point is we all have to do things, we might not like, because it benefits society as a whole.
I think there were people prosecuted who knowingly had aids, and went on to infect others. Certainly driving drunk the wrong way is the most serious of these, aids is no longer a death sentence, but it use to be. Covid 19 is probably the lease serious of these, but serious enough. Society that always tried to protect themselves from disease, i.e. leprosy, tuberculosis, there is really nothing new here, it is just that we are not use to it, because those diseases were from another era.
She was at least .08%? Well was she under it or over it at least don’t mean crap, sounds like they don’t know.
Be specific as .08 is not legally dui, it’s OVER.08% that is the break point.
Wow, could u be more ignorant?
Ignorant about what, I’m questioning what her exact reading was and they don’t know…seems I’m not the ignorant one…you are…
ok
You can be under .08 and still get convicted of DUI. I suggest some light reading of the vehicle code … section 23252(b).

Actually, .08 is legally drunk. And .05-.079 can be charged as DUI if there are other factors.
And murder is charged with prior DUIs and in cases where someone signed a Watson clause in a prior case.
Wow, I missed this story/accident. It is crazy, I had to think about where she was and where she got on 680 going the wrong way. I’m glad the bail is set high-hopefully she is still in jail so she can’t hurt anyone else. Condolences to the family.
Too bad she didn’t choose to Uber or whatever that night. Innocent people died and she has to live with that the rest of her life.
