Charges filed for fatal Gardena crash
A Torrance man is facing vehicular manslaughter charges for allegedly driving drunk and killing a 21-year-old in a Gardena crash. John Guerrero, 25, was charged Sept. 24 with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and vehicular manslaughter for the June 24 crash that killed Khalib Turner (left), an El Camino College student, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Preliminary reports said the 11:50 p.m. collision at El Segundo Boulevard and Normandie Avenue showed Guerrero crashed into Turner's driver-side door in the intersection.
Guerrero is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges on Oct. 23 in Torrance Superior Court.
