Highland Park resident Carly Rousso was driving eastbound on Central Avenue on Labor Day afternoon when she drifted across the road and into the sidewalk, hitting 25-year-old Modesta Sacramento and her three children, according to officials. Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento, 5, was killed.

A new trial date for Carly Rousso, 18, of Highland Park, has been set for July 12, reported the Lake County News-Sun.

Last October, Rousso pleaded not guilty to reckless homicide and aggravated DUI charges for the death of 5-year-old Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento of Highland Park, reported Patch.

Rousso was driving eastbound on Central Avenue on Labor Day afternoon when she drifted across the road and into the sidewalk, hitting 25-year-old Modesta Sacramento and her three children. Jaclyn was killed.

Toxicology reports indicated that the compound Difluoroethane was detected in Rousso's blood, according to a grand jury indictment, reported Patch. The compound was found in a commercial cleaning product uncovered in Rousso's car, according to Ken LaRue, the Lake County State's Attorney's Traffic Division chief.

Rousso remains free on $500,000 bond. Last December, a judge temporarily lifted the 24-hour curfew so she could travel to Arizona to visit family, reported Patch.

Rousso, who is also a defendant in a civil suit being sought by Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento's family, is due back in court June 11, reported the News-Sun.
