OCEANSIDE, Calif.—A 9-year-old girl has died in a San Diego County freeway crash blamed on a man suspected of driving drunk.
California Highway Patrol Officer Steven Zelasco says a Lexus carrying the girl struck two cars and a big-rig shortly after 1 a.m. Monday on Interstate 5 in Oceanside.
The driver, 23-year-old Michael Wright Jr. of Commerce, had minor injuries and was arrested for investigation of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. The girl, who was in the back seat, died at a hospital. Her identity was not released.
Zelasco says the vehicles had slowed because of road work when the Lexus, doing more than 50 mph, rear-ended one and then hit two others.
Two other drivers had injuries but they were not serious.
