Two San Gabriel residents killed in DUI crash

 

ALHAMBRA – Two San Gabriel residents were killed and two others injured after the car they were in fell at least 60 feet off a freeway overpass and landed on the transition road between the westbound I-10 and the southbound 710 Freeway.

Manolo Magat, 23, and Joseph Almario, 21, both of San Gabriel were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, Christine Meng, 22, and passenger Jason Lieu, 22, also of San Gabriel, sustained injuries and were transported to Los Angeles USC Medical Center.

Meng was speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol, CHP officials said, which caused her to lose control of the RAV4 on a curve and crash through the guard wall of the bus way/HOV lane at 1:05 a.m.

She has been charged with felony DUI, California Highway Patrol spokeswoman Doris Peniche said.

Peniche said the CHP is still investigating the incident and could also charge Meng with manslaughter or murder.

The westbound I-10 to the southbound 710 transition road as well as the bus way/HOV lane from Alameda Street to the eastbound I-10 was closed for approximately three hours after the crash.

405 North Closed At Artesia After Fatal Construction Worker Crash

 

Two alleged drunken drivers hit each other and then plowed into a construction crew, killing two road workers, on the 405 (San Diego) Freeway in the South Bay early Sunday morning.

The workers were identified as Ramon Lopez, 56, of Chino Hills and Ricardo Zamora, 58, of Winchester in Riverside County, said Coroner’s Lt. Cheryl MacWillie.

Paramedics rushed a third worker to Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center with minor to moderate injuries, said California Highway Patrol Officer Dion Conley. The crash was reported to the CHP at 3:35 a.m.

The two workers were employed by a contracting firm under Caltrans supervision, and their bodies were still at the scene at mid-morning.

CHP officers said a blue Ford Explorer driven by Yocio Jonathan Gomez, 33, of Norwalk, smashed into the rear of a black Lexus RX-350 SUV driven by Stephan Christopher Caserta, 43, of Playa Vista, Conley said.

“As it turns out, one of the motorists (Caserta) was slowing down as he saw the construction site. He was rear-ended by the other motorist, which caused them both to drive into the construction zone,” said CHP Officer Ed Jacobs.

The sport utility vehicle spun out control, forcing him to strike the three workers. Gomez’s car overturned on its roof.

Paramedics rushed both drivers to hospitals, where both were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. “And there’s a lot of charges we can affix to that (charge),’ Conley said.

The medical conditions of Gomez and Caserta were not immediately known.

The northbound 405 remained closed at the South Bay Curve until about 2 p.m. as the CHP Major Accident Investigation Team surveyed the wrecks. The incomplete repaving job was also completed, CHP officers at the scene said.

“At the time of the closure the number one and the HOV lanes were the only lanes open’ on the northbound 405 near the Artesia Boulevard off ramp,” Conley said.

Four people were injured in the series of crashes that occurred at a road construction site where traffic was stopped in the southbound direction on CA Highway 113 in rural Sutter County

An oncoming big rig traveling southbound either failed to brake or his brakes did not correctly function, according to the CHP. His rig failed to stop, rear-ending a Dodge pickup pulling a boat.
