According to the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Alexander Deleon Velasco, a 21-year-old San Bernardino man, is being detained at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence. A 12-year-old girl was killed and four others seriously injured Sunday when Velasco ran a stop sign in Muscoy while allegedly drunk. He broadsided the vehicle the victims were in, according to California Highway Patrol officers.
According to authorities, Velasco was driving his 1998 Chevrolet truck when he ran a stop sign at the corner of Mesa and Macy streets, striking a 2004 Kia who was heading south. The Kia careened into a wood fence and stopped against a palm tree.
Sandra Ceballos, of Los Angeles, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other people in the Kia, who range in age from 13 to 37, suffered major injuries.
