The driver who last year plowed into a group of recruits from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and several other police agencies, resulting in the later death of one of them, now has been charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.
Twenty-five law enforcement recruits were injured during a training run in Whittier, California when an SUV swerved from the opposite side of the road and struck multiple members of the group. The recruits suffered injuries ranging from minor to critical. Eight months later one of the recruits, 27-year-old Alejandro Martinez, died from his injuries.
