SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) - Santa Rosa police say a homeless woman and her dog have been killed while sleeping in a parked car after an alleged drunken driver smashed into the vehicle.

Police say the woman was sleeping in the Mazda. Nobody was in the Prius.
All three cars were totaled.
Twenty-one-year-old Angel Ivan Martinez of Santa Rosa was treated for minor injuries at a hospital and booked on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence.
