When an allegedly intoxicated driver reportedly going over 100 MPH caused a crash involving three automobiles, two people including an infant suffered from injuries.

Around 8:30 pm on January 19, a car accident with three automobiles took place on an Irwindale onramp to the 605 freeway.

When officers with the Irwindale Police Department accompanied by the Los Angeles County Fire Department went to the site of the accident, they found that one of the cars had flipped over. The inhabitants of all of the vehicles were still at the scene, and at least two of them, one of them an infant, had sustained injuries.

Officer Edgar Verduzco had been driving down the 605 freeway in Whitter when his car veered to the right into the adjoining lane and made impact with the back end of a Nissan carrying two parents and their child. The mother, father and teenage son were pronounced dead at the scene. Verduzco was suspected of DUI.

26-year-old Verduzco, an Army veteran who has worked at the front desk of the police department for two years, had allegedly been driving approximately 65 mph when he struck the Nissan causing it to combust, and leaving the victims without an escape from their vehicle. They have not yet been identified due to the state of the remains.

Immediately following the initial accident Verduzco’s car continued on and struck another vehicle before he came to a stop. The driver from the second vehicle was reported to have suffered minor injuries, and Verduzco acquired a broken nose.
