The Region : Head-On Crash Kills 3

A 41-year-old Whittier man who reportedly told his wife, “I am going to end it all,” has been booked on suspicion of murder after he allegedly drove his vehicle deliberately into oncoming traffic. The resulting crash killed three people and seriously injured the driver and two others. Authorities said Ralph Ambriz had been arguing with his wife and two children while driving in Santa Fe Springs late Saturday night. His wife told paramedics that he deliberately swerved the car into an oncoming vehicle. The collision killed Grace Ambriz, the motorist’s 15-year-old daughter, and the driver and passenger of the oncoming car, Pamela Williams, 36, and her mother, Mary, 64.
