Police Seek Murder Charge in Car Crash
Los Angeles police said Monday they will seek murder charges against a driver involved in a crash that killed one person and critically injured four others in northeast Los Angeles Sunday night.
Police said the driver, Harry Boubushian, 34, of Los Angeles, has two previous drunk driving convictions and completed an alcohol rehabilitation program only three days before the accident. Police said Monday that the dead person is believed to be Boubushian’s wife.
Boubushian was exceeding 100 m.p.h. as he drove west on Los Feliz Blvd. just before 11 p.m. with seven passengers in his 1988 BMW, police said. He lost control just west of Vermont Avenue, became airborne and hit two parked cars before landing, police said. All eight people were thrown from the car.
The survivors were taken to six area hospitals. Two were on life-support systems Monday, two others remained in critical condition, one was treated for a broken leg, and one treated for bruises and released, police said. Boubushian was not seriously hurt.
