Mother of two happy to be alive after losing legs in accident

The Napa woman whose legs were crushed when she was hit by a drunk driver Sunday night has a long, tough road to recovery.

Doctors at Queen of the Valley Medical Center operated on Lilian Clark the night of the crash, amputating both of her legs just above the knee, according to her husband, John Clark.
Clark, 38, is the mother of two boys, 4 and 6. She was pinned between the rear bumper of her car and a 1990 Plymouth driven by Francisco Pacheco, 24, of Napa.

The crash happened around 6:30 p.m. Sunday on South Terrace Drive, north of Shetler Avenue.

After the crash, Pacheco put his car in reverse and sped away from the scene. Neighbors followed him to his house about a block away, where they held him until police arrived and arrested Pacheco on felony DUI, hit and run and driving without a valid license. Pacheco has a prior misdemeanor DUI conviction from January 2007. He is on probation.

He is being held in the county jail on $100,000 bail.

Pacheco does not have auto insurance.

“I have no idea at this time what will be involved in Lili’s recovery. I know there will be months, maybe years of rehab, and she will have to be fitted for prosthesis,â€

Found out he was once deported and they have taken his bail away, I have wrirren to the editor. It would help if people would do the same. Why wasn't it mentioned in the story. I know John.

People I hope you are helping out with this by contacting the paper, contacting the justice department, contacting our politicians. If John hadn't used his influence and dug for the info this creep would have prohibly gotten out on bail. John is a retired police officer. I have protsted with him and his wife in San Rafael CA.
