Man charged in crash that killed 3-year-old girl

From the Associated Press:

POMONA -- A man is facing a misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charge stemming from a crash that killed a 3-year-old girl walking with her father and 5-year-old sister outside a school in Diamond Bar nearly a year ago.

Conrado Pantig Maglonzo, 69, is due in Pomona Superior Court Dec. 18 for arraignment.

The defendant's Nissan Pathfinder went over a curb near Maple Hill Elementary School on Nov. 26, 2008, striking Michelle Kwon. The youngster died of her injuries about 24 hours later.

A Los Angeles County sheriff's sergeant said after the crash that the man was parking his vehicle as he was dropping off children and lost control of the SUV.
