A 23-year-old Pomona man has been arrested on suspicion of DUI in connection with an Anaheim wrong-way crash that killed a Buena Park woman, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol reported that Ruben Gurrola was driving on the wrong side of the 91 freeway when he crashed head-on into a Toyota Camry, killing Kyung Namgoong, 53, of Buena Park, who was a passenger in the Camry. The driver of the Camry was a 58-year-old Buena Park man; he was also injured in the crash.
Gurrola and a 24-year-old female passenger in his vehicle suffered traumatic injuries. All four people involved in the wrong-way crash were taken to the hospital; Namgoong was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
