Default Drunk illegal Mexican multi-car crash on SoCal freeway leaves 6 dead

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

POMONA, Calif. -- A wrong-way driver on a Southern California
freeway was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after
causing a pre-dawn crash with multiple vehicles Sunday that left
six people dead, a highway patrol officer told the Los Angeles
Times.

Police arrested the 21-year-old female driver on suspicion of
felony driving under the influence and felony manslaughter in
connection with the 4:40 a.m. accident on the westbound Pomona
freeway, or State Route 60, in Diamond Bar, said Rodrigo
Jimenez, a California Highway Patrol spokesman on the scene, who
spoke to the Los Angeles Times, (http://lat.ms/1fQrEWe).

The female driver was in serious condition at a Los Angeles
County hospital with a broken femur and a ruptured bladder,
Jimenez said.

Authorities were seeking blood tests.

Investigators "believe from what they found in the vehicle that
alcohol was involved," Los Angeles County Coroner's Lt. Fred
Corral told the newspaper.

Jimenez said the woman was traveling east in a red Chevy Camaro
when it collided head-on with a red Ford Explorer. The sequence
of events involving the other vehicles was not immediately
clear. At least two people were ejected from their vehicles.

Four people were pronounced dead at the scene, and two people
died at an area hospital, authorities said. The freeway lanes in
both directions were closed for hours Sunday.

Jimenez told the newspaper as he stood near the crumpled
vehicles that it was "a horrific collision."

"This tragedy is 100 percent preventable," he said.
