A 24-year-old man suspect of driving under the influence of alcohol was arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter Sunday morning after his car rear-ended another vehicle at a Reseda intersection, causing a four-car chain-reaction wreck that left an 89-year-old woman dead, police said.
Lorenzo Gonzalez of Pacoima was driving a Volkswagen Jetta westbound on Victory Boulevard near Wilbur Avenue about 12:20 a.m., when his car rear-ended a Nissan Altima driven by 55-year-old Moises Montano, Loa Angeles Police Sgt. William Kelly said.
The Nissan then collided with a Toyota Avalon that was stopped, facing east on Victory, its driver waiting to make a left turn onto northbound Wilbur Avenue, Kelly said.
The Toyota was pushed backward into a Kia Rio, he said.
Justina Larrea, 89, of Palmdale, a passenger in the Nissan, was pronounced dead at the scene, Kelly said.
Gonzalez was arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter, he said.
Two other people suffered moderate injuries and were taken to a hospital, Kelly said.
