Two of the children are still hospitalized, with one of them being listed in critical condition.

According to California Highway Patrol Officer Joshua Wupperfield, Allen had attended a wedding and had picked up the children from a caretaker the morning of the crash. Authorities are still determining if the children were wearing seatbelts at the time of the rollover crash.

According to the California Highway Patrol Allen who holds a commercial drivers license and works as a bus driver was expected to be booked for driving under the influence after being released from the hospital.  The SUV rollover attorney at Ehline Law Firm PC will be providing updates on issues of liability and damages as the facts pan out.
