SAN ANTONIO (February 14, 2012)—Jurors in San Antonio consider punishment Tuesday for Jenny Ybarra, 32, of Seguin, whom they convicted Monday of drunken driving in a head-on crash in 2007 in which a Texas college coed was mistakenly left untreated for hours and later died.

Ybarra was convicted Monday of intoxication manslaughter, manslaughter, driving while intoxicated and assault and she faces as much as 20 years in prison for the death of Texas State University senior Erica Smith, 23.

Smith was the front passenger in a car with two other people that was struck head-on by Ybarra’s vehicle, which crossed an Interstate 410 median.

Smith died at Brooke Army Medical Center after suffering a head injury in the crash.

Paramedics covered Smith in a yellow tarp in the wreckage, the typical procedure when someone is killed.

That was before an investigator for the medical examiner's office arrived at the scene and made the startling discovery that she was still alive.

In 2008 regulators suspended the certifications of three San Antonio paramedics, who did not immediately check the gravely injured Smith, thinking she had not survived.
