A teenager has been taken into custody by police after smashing her vehicle, subsequently killing her 14-year-old sister while the moment was live streamed to her Instagram account, according to MailOnline.
Obdulia Sanchez,18, from Stockton, is accused of driving while drunk during the deadly incident in Los Banos, California on Friday.
Her younger sibling, Jacqueline Sanchez, died at the scene and authorities are now probing into the graphic video that they believe shows the deadly events transpiring.
The footage shows Sanchez talking to the camera as she drives normally and the moment the car rolled over a barbed wire fence and then onto a field.

Gory visuals from the scene then show Jacqueline's body strewn on the floor, the other girl in the car waving for help and Sanchez talking to the camera.
During the live recording she said: "Jacqueline, please wake up. I f****** killed my sister, okay? I know I'm going to jail for life. I love my sister… this is the last thing I thought was going to happen to us".
"I killed my sister, but I don't care. I killed my sister. I know I'm going to prison, but I don't care. I'm sorry baby. I'm a hold it down," she adds.
The disturbing clip ends with her kneeling next to her dead sister and saying: "Wake up baby, I'm f**king sorry baby, I did not mean to kill you sweetie."
Police say said Jacqueline was not wearing a seat belt when the car crashed and rolled onto a road on Friday.
The 14-year-old was thrown through the back window of the car, authorities said.
Another girl, who police have not named but confirmed she was a minor, was also not wearing a seat belt and suffered major leg injuries in the crash.
