Bodycam footage shows the shocking moments surrounding a deadly DUI crash that left two people dead in 2022. New Mexico man Nicholas Esteban Gurrola crashed head-on with an SUV carrying four passengers after sideswiping another vehicle. Gurrola attempted to escape the scene but was detained by witnesses until police arrived. Gurrola, who was under the influence of alcohol, pretended he was just smoking a cigarette and had nothing to do with the deadly crash. Las Cruces police took Gurrola into custody as they dealt with the tragic crime scene. Gurrola became cocky and aggressive at the hospital as officers questioned him. He appeared to show no remorse for his actions. Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner breaks down the deadly incident.

Open borders.
The nerve he has ranting like that.
Two people dead, one severely injured and a baby in the vehicle and he gets less than 20 years. That's nothing but a complete injustice.
10 years per life is all his victims were worth, yet had he used a gun he woulda got life! A drunk behind the wheel is way more dangerous than a loaded gun! Yet they seem to be able to get away with it.
I got rhe exact same shirt, and this yutz isnt fit to wear it!!
I got hit by a drunk driver Dec 18 2017, a year & 12 days after my daughter was born. Her car seat was in the backseat, but she wasn’t.
He tried to pass me going up a hill, and swerved infront of me to avoid another car in the other lane. Cut me off, barely touching my front end to his rear end, and my front passenger side tire hit the curb and I cartwheeled 8 times down a hill, and slid 18 ft the rest of the way down the hill upside down. I had put my seatbelt on a quarter of a mile before. I was stuck upside for about 10 minutes before I got cut out, my radiator had come all the way through my dash & the car caught on fire minutes after I got out.
I’ll never forget being upside down, turning around and seeing my daughter’s car seat cut in half by the roof of the car.
I’ll forever thank divine intervention for her not being with me that day. She was so little.
Well you walk for me 😂😂😂
I am permanently disabled for life due to a drunk driver. He hit me and it disabled his huge Dodge Ram truck and crushed my car. He jumped out of his truck and ran and hid down by the river here where he was later spotted, still hammered drunk as he was hitchhiking for a ride and picked up by the police as I gave them a description of him and so do many witnesses. It was his 4th DUI. He was driving with not registration, no license, no insurance. I called the District Attorney and they told me that he didn’t show up for his arraignment and that there was a warrant out for his arrest. How does that happen? He should not have been let out so soon?
Four and a half minutes in and it seems to me that this dickweed's issue is that he can't handle his drink.
I saw a video of a very drunk man being told he killed someone while driving and the man was devastated. He was still able to show remorse despite how heavily inebriated he was. It doesn't excuse what he did, but it just shows how being drunk isn't an excuse for showing no remorse for killing people.
What a joke, he should have gotten 30 years to life in prison!
Why is he so damn far away from the accident? He walked a damn mile
15 years for killing innocent people and possibly leaving a baby without a mother or grandmother?
Guy high on drugs killed my 33 year old sister and got three years!
Are you sh*tting me …he's wearing a Best Dad top……so so sickening…..hope none of his children ever get injured or killed by DUI drivers…..
There should be more officers at night then day time drunk drivers are everywhere it’s not fair families can’t enjoy a ride back home and arrive safely
ONLY 20 YEARS IN PRISON?!?!?!? WTF🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Guys a real monster, two people dead, yet in the middle of the video they give a shout out to the sponsor! Who's the real monster here lol.
I quit drinking a couple of months ago and am embarrassed that i used to drive. I am thankful that my stupidity didn't get anyone hurt.
Guy probably thinks Trump is a great candidate
Best dad ever right? 😢
Just started, but have to say 'Dude' no cigarettes where you're going; get used to it. Hopefully along the way he'll ask about the people in the other vehicle. But somehow I doubt it.
He’s mad that the cop isn’t being nicer? He ought to be asking about his victims!
It is crazy how the drunk driver always seems to be able to just walk away from these accidents.
The guy acts pretty tough at the hospital. I wished we could have seen the police tell him he killed two people. Drunk drivers seem to always walk away.
Absolutely tragic and avoidable.
did they forget a zero in the sentance
Omg so sad that guy needs to rot in jail forever
20 years is disgustingly low for killing two people. every single time i have been drunk i have fully been able to comprehend that i am not able to drive car. when it comes to life and death, you 100% intended to kill someone when you got behind the wheel. he should be in jail for life at the least.
Please no more "dude" or "bro"……..these cops are way too nice and polite !!!!!!!!
Our judicial system needs a massive overhaul.
Why dont americans wear seatbelts?
I hate drunk people and their cigarettes
From Mexico so is he illegal?
20 years?! Is that a joke…
“I just wanna smoke a cigarette “. Yeah because that’s all so important after just killing two people.. Imagine how he’s gonna feel when he sober up and realizes what he’s done?
Why are deaths caused by drunk driving not considered murder?
5'4 BTW
Las cruces cops were paid to let drunks walk free. Wonder if he ever did.
i always look at the date of these body cams and it’s always so heartbreaking when it’s something like this, just before the holidays.
People who take ZERO.RESPONSIBILITY for their behaviors. SOUND FAMILIAR?
Wake up, folks.
That poor family. Did they even tell that guy that he just killed someone. Maybe his attitude would have been different.
