A drunk driver was found at fault for a crash on the 605 Freeway in Norwalk that killed four people and injured at least two others. The crash occurred after the driver, suspected of driving under the influence, collided with a stalled vehicle. The collision resulted in flames engulfing the vehicle with four individuals inside. Authorities stated the incident was preventable and plan to arrest the intoxicated driver for DUI causing injury. As a result of the investigation, all southbound lanes of the freeway remain closed.
"It's entirely preventable due to the fact that one of the drivers was driving under the influence," Salazar said, according to KTLA. "This could have been prevented. ... Our hearts go out to the families who are involved."
The driver suspected of being under the influence of alcohol is accused of crashing into a stalled vehicle in the southbound lanes of the 605 Freeway near Rosecrans Avenue around 1 a.m. Sunday, according to ABC-7 News.
Officials plan to arrest the driver on suspicion of DUI causing injury.
All southbound lanes of the 605 Freeway remained closed from Firestone Boulevard to Rosecrans Avenue into Sunday morning as the investigation continued, CHP officials said.
