Drunk-Driving Suspect in Crash Arrested
A Huntington Beach man suspected of drunk driving was arrested after his pickup truck went out of control and flipped over on top of a car, killing the driver, sheriff’s officials said.
Craig Allan Webb, 32, was booked on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and felony drunk driving. He was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail at a sheriff’s substation jail here, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. Lynn Helbing said.
The accident occurred about 3:30 a.m. Monday when Webb, driving south on Brea Canyon Road, lost control of his four-wheel-drive pickup truck, Helbing said.
Webb’s truck spun out in the northbound lanes and flipped on top of a Mitsubishi compact car near Currier Road, Helbing said.
The impact crushed the driver, identified as Dora Diaz, 36, of Diamond Bar. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Webb was not injured.
