A scheduled bail hearing Monday for a man suspected of a deadly hit-and-run in Atascadero was removed from the court's calendar.
The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney's tells KSBY they are pleased with the outcome since it means the suspect will remain in custody with bail staying at $1 million, which was previously set by a different judge.
KSBY also reached out to the suspect's attorney who told us he has no comment at this time.
Zachary Bernal's next hearing will be a pre-preliminary hearing.
The 31-year-old faces charges of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, leaving the scene of a crash and a misdemeanor charge for possession of fentanyl.
He's accused of driving while under the influence, hitting and killing 11-year-old José Gutiérrez early this month in Atascadero while the boy was walking home from school along El Camino Real.
