The State : Wrong-Way Crash Kills 4
A head-on collision caused by a wrong-way driver traveling at about 75 m.p.h. on the 57 Freeway in Anaheim killed four people. The wrong-way driver, identified by police only as a 32-year-old Orange County resident in a late-model Chevrolet, narrowly missed hitting another car before slamming into an Oldsmobile carrying three people. Killed in the second car were the driver, Gene Stone, 67, and her husband, Joics, 60, of Hacienda Heights, and Ida Holt, 89, of Long Beach. The California Highway Patrol said an autopsy and toxicological tests were pending to determine whether the wrong-way driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
