A 27-year-old Westminster man was killed in a Orange County motorcycle accident and a 24-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and gross vehicular manslaughter, according to a news report.
Joey Ramos was riding his motorcycle when he was struck and killed by a pick-up truck driven by Tania Gallina of Los Angeles, who was uninjured in the accident. Police said that Gallina drove her truck head-on into Ramos as she turned to enter the northbound I-405 onramp at Westminster Boulevard.
Gallina was arrested shortly after police arrived at the scene of the accident. Witnesses tried to perform CPR on Ramos until paramedics arrived, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
