New York, NY —April 29, 2014 — INSIDE EDITION speaks with Kaila Mendoza, the then twenty-year-old self-proclaimed “Pothead Princess,” who is speaking out for the first time about the night she killed two best friends, in a head on collision, while driving drunk.

Mendoza tells INSIDE EDITION that she can’t remember anything about the deadly accident last November in Southern Florida, which took the lives of Marisa Catronio and Kaitlyn Ferrante.

MENDOZA: “How I ended up on the Sawgrass Expressway, I wish I knew.”

Mendoza, who was driving on the wrong side of the highway, unlicensed, underage and drunk, slammed head on into another car. Marisa was pronounced dead at the scene, while Kaitlyn died from her injuries in the hospital several days later. Both women were 21-years-old.

MENDOZA: “It breaks my heart. And when I found out that not only did I get into an accident, but the two girls I got into an accident had passed away, it just really made me wonder why I didn’t too.”

Marisa’s and Kaitlyn’s families were outraged when they learned the hours before the accident, Mendoza had Tweeted “2 Drunk 2 Care.” Mendoza, however insists, that the Tweet was referencing an argument with her boyfriend, not her decision to drive drunk.

MENDOZA: “It did not mean, ‘I’m too drunk to care. I’m going to get in my car now and wherever the hell I end up, that’s it.’ No. It was directed to my boyfriend. That’s the only person that it was for.”

Mendoza tells INSIDE EDITION that the night started when she joined people she worked with at a T-Mobile store for drinks after work. She says her boss, Marcelo Bruzzo, knew that she was too young to drink legally, but says that they all partied into the night.

MENDOZA: “My manager, Marcelo, invites me to go to a restaurant that my co-workers were going to. We were all going to hang out. So my car was left at T-Mobile and I rode with him in his car to the restaurant.”

According to her bar tab, Mendoza consumed quite a lot of alcohol: two margaritas and two shots of tequila. Her blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit. But Mendoza tells INSIDE EDITION that after the night of drinking, Bruzzo dropped her off at her car in the T-Mobile parking lot and drove off leaving Mendoza to drive herself home.

Bruzzo had no comment about Mendoza’s accident when INSIDE EDITION’s Lisa Guerrero caught up with him.

Today, Mendoza has to wear a diaper and is confined to a wheelchair, her leg shattered from the collision. She tells INSIDE EDITION she has no one to blame but herself.

MENDOZA: “I wish there was something I could say to make up for what happened, but no matter how many ‘sorry’s,’ apologies, tears I cry, no matter how much I hate myself for what happened, nothing I say will change anything.
