Man Held for Allegedly Causing Fatal Crash
A 20-year-old Glendale man has been arrested for allegedly causing an accident in which a father and daughter were killed and then fleeing the scene, authorities said Thursday.
Jorge Ayala, 20, was arrested Wednesday night, minutes after he allegedly ran a stop sign, broadsided another car and ran to his nearby home, police said.
Karapet Khajehtorians, 57, and his daughter, Janice, who was in her early 20s, were killed, Sgt. Dean Durand said. Ayala was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and felony hit and run. His father, Juan Ayala, 53, was arrested as an accessory after falsely telling investigators the car had been stolen earlier, Durand said.
