Kayla Mendoza is an American woman who was sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2015 after being convicted of killing two women while driving drunk in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 17, 2013.

[4] On the night of November 16, 2013, Mendoza, who was 20 years old at the time, went with her manager and co-workers from her job at a T-Mobile US store to the Tijuana Taxi Co., a local bar in Coral Springs, where she reportedly drank two "fishbowl" margaritas.

Hours later, she got into a Hyundai Sonata and drove into the Sawgrass Expressway the wrong way at 80 mph before colliding with a 2012 Toyota Camry driven by Kaitlyn Ferrante and Marisa Catronio, both aged 21, just after 1:45 a.m. on November 17.

She had proclaimed herself as a "pothead princess" on her account and posted quotes indicating her addiction to alcohol and marijuana, such as: "My car permanently smells like weed" and "I really am so baked right now".

[1][5] Mendoza's then-boyfriend Javier Reyes, who owned the Hyundai Sonata involved in the crash, explained that the "2 drunk 2 care" tweet was directed toward him.
