15-year-old killed in Friday car crash
STORY TOOLS 
More from Conejo ValleyA 15-year-old Newbury Park boy died from injuries suffered in an accident Friday night in Thousand Oaks involving a suspected drunken driver, according to the county medical examiner coroner's office.
The boy was identified as Lester Turcios, according to Armando Chavez, senior deputy medical examiner.
The youth was in a car with three other family members when it was rear-ended by an SUV driven by Jason Allen Frey, 37, of Newbury Park.
Frey was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Frey was driving on the left side of northbound Highway 23, south of Janss Road, with a juvenile passenger when his vehicle swerved to the far right lane and struck the back of a sedan carrying the family, according to the CHP.
The sedan was pushed into a station wagon, which was consequently pushed into another SUV.
Frey and his juvenile passenger both suffered minor injuries.
Turcios was sitting in the left rear seat of the sedan and was taken to Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center with major injuries.
He died there Saturday at 12:30 p.m., Chavez said. A second child in the sedan and one adult passenger sustained minor injuries.
The driver of the station wagon also suffered minor injuries.
Frey was arrested on suspicion of felony drunken driving resulting in injury. He was held Saturday at Ventura County Jail in lieu of $70,000 bail.

My son and I came upon this accident Friday night and saw Fire Rescue working on someone...we just knew it couldn't be good. We figured that someone must've tried to rush the Janns exit lane to get to Conejo Valley Days. That exit on 23 was backed up most of the weekend.
Prayers go out to the family.

Terrible! This man had no regard for his passenger or anyone else on the road. I hope he sits in jail for a long time to think about what he has done to this poor family!

First off I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to the family. This is a tragedy that has affected many people. Lester was a friend of my daughters and this terrible news has brought heartache and pain for all of Lester's friends and family. A loss that most certainly should not have happened. It's still beyond me that drunken drivers have the opportunity to post bail out of jail especially when they've so selfishly taken another person's life.

Drunken driver, DRUNK, DRUNK DRUNK !!!!!
It really gets me so MAD that these drivers are allowed to get out of jail by posting bail!! I just don't get it... He took an innocent child's life for Gods Sake!!! My deepest condolences to the Turcio Family, May God bless you always and know that the world now has another Angel to watch over us... Que Dios los bendiga!

We drove by this accident when we left the fair. I just knew it had to be another drunk driving accident.
Why are adults making such poor decisions??? A taxi can be there in a matter of minutes...and it's cheap and safe!! I think we need check points at every freeway on ramp for the next year to make people accountable. This could have been any of us driving that night! Dear LORD, we need to get a grip!

We know this family well and they are the kindest most wonderful people. The devastation this drunk driver has caused is unimaginable. We will help the Turcios family to ensure Jason Frey receives the full impact of the law. We know this can't bring Lester back but we will do everything we can to bring him and his family justice. In time we hope they will find peace.

TimeArrow: Where did you get that info from?!! Keep us posted!!! Jason Frey was a graduate of the NPHS class of 89 -- Its too bad this happened as we are nearing our 20 year reunion next year and looking forward to seeing everyone. Our class has suffered a few tragedies including the tragedy of Lisa Doman our Junior year, due to a DUI. I would have thought that Jason would have learned from that -- apparently not.

Where are all the sick and twisted comments that are the "norm" on this website. This drunk individual killed an innocent person and injured others due to his negligence. I have no remorse for this man! Shame on all of you very selective commenters. This should be his last time driving period. Don't ever issue this loser a drivers license again. Sad to say he may post bail, and will probably get off easy. I sincerely hope not. The family of this young man should really consider suing this idiot, even though it won't compensate the life of their son, they can at least bring some financial misery to this loser.

To UdontKnowMe and others - this is tragic and he shouldn't be driving again. This is someone making a bad choice, a deadly choice that will forever affect his family and the Turcios family. Let's all think about it next time we or someone we know has a few drinks (or more) and thinks it is OK to drive! Let's watch out for one another and think about the choices we make and how severe the consequences may be. There is a lot of pain in this world as a result of bad choices. Thank God the Turcios family are believers and know that God's peace and comfort will see them through this tragic situation and that their Lester is now in the safe arms of Jesus. Continued prays for the Turcios family.

udontknowme,
yeah , lets again sue someone for the sake of suing. He probably has no money to take. A friend of mine was tragically killed on highway 118 while hauling a tractor across an unmarked bridge which leads to a farm. Yes, his family could have easily sued but chose not to. Why, it will not bring him back and they did not see a reason to cost the taxpayers any money for something they are not responsible for. Suing is not an answer. Spending time in jail will hopefully give him time to think about what he has done.

Please do not be so quick to judge! the driver had very little alcohol and now because of this awful mistake his 17 month old baby boy may never have his daddy again.My heartgoes out to the victums family, but remember there not the only ones who suffer loss, and strugle to survive now.

First my thoughts and prayers are with the Turcios family.
Very little alcohol....This is a common statement used in DUI cases. This wasn't an "awful mistake", it was a choice made by the 37 year old man and he took an innocent young life. Now Lester's family and friends must deal with this tragic loss. None of their actions or choices resulted in this tragedy. I hope the Turcios family receives full justice. I must end now so I can pick up my daughter from her first memorial service (Lester's).

Zanesmommy, in the story it says that he had a juvenile passenger in the car with him. He put that kid at risk as well. He shouldn't have any alcohol in his system if he's driving a child. Period.
Also on the inmate inquiry page, it looks like he has a history:

Posted by EnGsMom on May 6, 2008 at 11:23 p.m. (Suggest removal)
I haven't read anything that stated how much alcohol he had in his system. At the very least he was at the legal limit and his behavior (driving while at the legal limit) was a crime. Further, he took someone's life and injured several others as well. He put his own child at risk. He has a history of drug related and criminal behavior. This appears to be a pattern. I have no sympathy for him. He made many choices that will impact his family - he behaved as if he had no regard for them or anyone else. Hopefully the law will prevail and he will be off the streets - away from harming anyone else (including his own family with his illegal and reckless, thoughtless behavior) for a LONG LONG time. It is a shame that his child will not have a father around but maybe the father should have considered that before behaving recklessly. If he has a substance abuse problem then he should've gotten help. If this is when he hit his "bottom" then maybe he can turn his life around. Unfortunately the Turcios family and those who love them have to pay (with their broken hearts) for this man finally reaching his bottom.

I sure hope the judge in this case shows no mercy towards Frey. The court system is backed up with repeat DUI cases because, the punishment's are too lenient. The time has come for the punishment to fit the crime. Severe consequences for those who choose to disregard the law and humanity!

It doesn't how matter how much or how little this fool had to drink. The bottom line is made an ignorant decision to drink and drive and now he will have to live the the burden of having taken an innocent child's life. I hope it haunts him for the rest of his life. It's too bad the court system doesn't make these criminals watch the funeral service to see how much pain he's brought upon many lives.

UdontKnowMe:
So your answer is to sue, thus solving the problem and bringing "financial misery" to Jason Frey? That's utterly ridiculous. Suing will NOT bring back Lester or take away the pain that was inflicted on the rest of those injured in this crash. It will only drag the pain on. I am sure most of us agree Jason should pay dearly for his crimes, and knowing how the Ventura County system works, they will probably throw the book and him -- He's done!! This is a tragedy that involves both sides of the families involved: Lester's family will never have Lester back and Jason's family will never have their daddy back. Who wins? NO one. You don't go suing an idiot to cause financial misery on his ENTIRE family (his ENTIRE family is not responsible for his actions, Jason is) and inflict pain on innocent children that are too young to understand what the hell is going on. What the hell is wrong with you!!!!!

Smoking Marijuana is illegal.... yet Drinking Alcohol is not. Drunk Drivers kill more people in the world than those smoking a joint. People drink solely for the effect it brings them. We cannot trust each individual to use Good Judgement while drinking because GOOD JUDGEMENT IS LOST WHILE THEY ARE DRINKING..... If someone kills someone else while drunk, (driving or not) in my view it is MURDER because WE ALL KNOW the effects of drinking Alcohol. STOP DRINKING AMERICA! or only drink at home and STAY HOME for Pete's Sake! !

malibushylah: I find your comment utterly ridiculous! You must know him, LOL, as your previous comment indicates, which was somewhat irrelevant to the topic.(Enjoy your reunion)Its too bad that poor Lester won't enjoy a reunion. I don't wish any bad to this drunk killers family, yet whatever repercussions they experience is due to this drunk killers irresponsible actions, because what he did inevitably affected many people. I merely suggested that they sue, whether or not they do is their decision to do so. That is the "legal" way to do it.

again he was exaclty at the legal limit .08% so he wasnt beyond wasted or anything. How about to the driver(father)... Why would he allow his 15 year old son to ride in the car without a seat belt. he was the only person in the car with out it on and the only person that is now unfortunatly no longer with us. Newspaper does give allo tge details on the story. Has anyone read yet that Frey hit the car lester was in when he was cut off by a semi truch and he hit his breaks causing him to swerve in to the other lane? No noe really knows all the details ont this story so its really agravating to read all the cruel remarks everyone is so quick to throw out there.
Posted by EnGsMom on May 9, 2008 at 5:34 p.m. (Suggest removal)
He might not have been "beyond wasted or anything" but this is not his first offense and according to the law he was driving while intoxicated which is a crime. Last time I checked, so is killing someone and injuring others. He is an irresponsible and selfish person. I have no sympathy for him. I'm sorry his family is suffering - this is a trauma for everyone - but they can still see him, talk to him, hug him - he's still alive. Can't say the same for the Turcios family who will never see their beloved son/brother/cousin/nephew again.

Yes, our beloved Lester may have not been wearing his safety belt, and his father may have known, maybe he didn't. I'm sure right before Lester's demise, his father told him to put on his seat belt. Whether that was minutes or an hour before the accident we don't know.
What we do know is Jason Frey decided to fill his belly with booze and cloud his mind, thus impairing his judgement. Do we know why his baby was in the car at 8 p.m.? I think it is much worse to drive drunk with your lil' baby than to allow your son to not wear his safety belt (again, who knows why the belt was off). According to his arrest record, this is not the first time Frey has driven drunk, and I am willing to bet that his baby has been present during his drunken "friday night drives". My condolences to the Turcios family. May his death be a peaceful nonexistence...as we say in the Souix culture, "one with the soil and nothing else".

I am the daughter of sunshinemom and I have some things to say. First off, Lester was one of my good friends and I send my love to his family. The police said that the crash was so bad a seatbelt wouldn't of mattered. There was nothing stated about Frey getting cut off by a semi. Is this his excuse? It seems like your his friend or relative. It was Freys choice to drink and drive. No one told him to. So yes it is HIS fault, not Lesters fathers. Lesters father had NOTHING to do with this. Lester was a happy, exciting, loving kid with a priceless smile. I went to his memorial service and it literally changed my life. I NEVER want to go to another one again. Seeing my friend laying in a coffin dead, it really rips my heart in half. I got to see him for the last time and this never should of happened! He looked like a waxed kid you see in a museum. Frey, yea he gets to see his little baby again, Lesters parents get to look at pictures. This isn't the first time Frey has done anything wrong and illegal so why are you giving excuses for him. Is there something wrong with you. It doesnt matter how much booze he had, and why is it that his own kid was in the car when he had been drinking? You don't take your kids in the car when you know your gonna drink, how stupid can you be. I don't have any sympathy for Frey because what he did is unforgivable. Lester was way too young and it wasnt his time. So Frey can stay in jail all his life for all I care. To see Lester's mom giving him kisses for the last time was very sad to see. The Law is very stupid because of the fact that criminals have "rights" and how is this fair. Guilty people should be punished. Not going to jail and getting T.V and a Weight room and getting taken care of. They should sit in there with nothing and do hard time. When Frey gets out of jail he'll probly go do it agian. The reason why people are being so quick to judge is because of Frey's history. There's not one person whos sticking up for Frey except for you and I don't understand that. I HIGHLY appreciate all the people who are supporting Lesters memory and his family. Does anyone know why they didn't have this accident on the news?
I miss you Lester and I'm very sorry this had to happen to you and your family. Your in a better place now and you can finally rest in PEACE!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

UDONTKNOWME: My comments are far from ridiculous. Your reasoning to solve this is to sue Jason's family when Jason's family is not the one that caused the accident, which is ridiculous. In case you forgot, Jason is the one that caused the accident, NOT his family. Are we clear here?!! Secondly, and I'll restate it so that you understand fully what I stated above - Lester's family will never have Lester back and Jason's family will never have their daddy back. Who wins? NO one. You don't go suing an idiot to cause financial misery on his ENTIRE family (his ENTIRE family is not responsible for his actions, Jason is) and inflict pain on innocent children that are too young to understand what the hell is going on. Get it??? Again, what the hell is wrong with you?!! The bottom line is that Jason got behind the wheel with alcohol in his system and killed an innocent child.

malibushylah: Again, your defensiveness amuses me. The jerk/killer you continue to defend deserves to be sued for every penny. I never once said that I wanted to bring Financial misery to his whole family. So let it go, because obviously you are still missing my point. Plenty of people sue, and you (as your Malibu name indicates) should understand this. So do yourself a favor and stay off the comments because are obviously biased in your opinion, and you know damn well you would sue if you were in that position. People sue every day, and again (for you, and Lester's family) it was only a suggestion.

zanesmommy84-
The state of California has determined that .08% BAC is the level at which a driver's mental & physical acuity is impaired. So because Jason was not "beyond wasted" it was okay to drive with his child in the car? Impaired drivers perceive things differently & over-react. The almost side swiped by a truck story is a PERFECT example of this. Then assigning some percentage of fault to others is the addict's way of NOT taking full responsibility. I can hear it in his voice & yours.

Reading through all these comments I can't begin to believe how someone would be ok with defending anyone who could take a life in such a way. I despise how everyone turns and points the finger at teenagers right off the bat when there are just as many adults speeding with their mobiles glued to their ear. Every age group has an equal amount of idiots. This guy clearly was one. My condolences to the family of the poor boy. And though I don't agree with them wanting to sue I do think the man who murdered him should have to pay for every expense. Funereal, medical, vehicular damages. Everything. Extra money in the family's pocket shouldn't make them feel better. I think that's something that's been engrained into California's head.
It NEVER matter how many drinks (or whatever) you've had. NEVER EVER EVER EVER get behind the wheel. ESPECIALLY with a little one in the car!! You never know who's life you're risking.

First off I would like to tell Lesters family how very bad I feel for them this is the worst possible
thing that can happen too a parent. I wish that I could fix this and take away all their pain. but unforchenetly I can not. No parent should have to out live thier children. I being the mother of two children myself My heart just brakes for you.
But I am the sister of Jason Frey I know his heart. and yes this is a terrible tragety he never would hurt any child on perpose. but thats not what I am writing this letter for.
The word that comes to mind is Hipocrits! I can almost garentee that @ leat 85% to 90% of you have had a drink or two and thought you were fine to. so think of-and be honest with yourself this could be you! and as far as the past history well you ether have one or you got lucky. Jason has worked very hard to change his life.
Most of you need help. the driving by the house and making threats to myself and my sisterinlaw with the baby thier. if you have nothing better to do than herass two females and a young child you need to worry about your own life your own children,wife,husband,and for god sake look inside and you might just see some you don't don't like. It's real easy for you to sit back and point fingers. Just point it someware else. I'm tierd of having to sleep with a batt beside my bed. you'r just a bunch of people who think they know what their talking about. but you don't. so educate yourself or shut up and leave use alone! I feel like our live have been ripped to shreds. and you people have to put your nonsence all over the net. I hope someday that we can all heal. but feelings are raw right now and unenformed and mean comments are not going to make anyone feel better. I'm sorry for being so blunt but I am done w/all the threats and name calling. it's childish.
well I geusse I said my pease for now. I really believe that God dose everything for a reason. hopefully we can all learn something from this no matter what it maybe.

I would suggest you learn to spell before you start calling other people uneducated.
The fact that your brother made the choice to drink and drive (and not the first time either) has come to haunt him. He should have learned his lesson the first couple of times it happened to him. It should have been a sign. What people have posted here is a reflection of the sadness that has come upon them from this terrible loss. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HE TOOK AN INNOCENT CHILDS LIFE AND PUT HIS OWN CHILD AT RISK??? HELLO?? If you can't handle reading how hard it is for family and friends who have lost Lester then stay off of these boards and stop reading! Hey, take a look at the link posted above...

Wow. Released on bail? I still have a little faith in our court system so we'll see how long his freedom lasts, although spiritually I'm sure he'll never be free.

i miss you lester, allot.
i kept waiting for you friday night and you never showed up, i should have known something wasn't right. the last time i saw you is a memory i'll keep with me forever. you've made me a better person, a stronger one too. i think about you everyday, everynight when i go to bed, everymorning when i wakeup, and everytime i buckle my seatbelt.
i miss you baby boy, keep an eye out for your family and especially vladi. he's missing you.
