Father, daughter killed in crash laid to rest
From the Associated Press:
QUARTZ HILL-- The father and daughter killed when a runaway big rig crashed into their car have been laid to rest in Los Angeles County.
About 1,200 people packed into a church Wednesday in Quartz Hill to attend the funeral
of Angel Posca and his 12-year-old daughter Angelina. Both were killed April 1 in La Canada Flintridge when a truck transporting cars careened down Angeles Crest Highway, lost its breaks and struck five vehicles before crashing into a bookstore.
Investigators say the truck's driver, 43-year-old Marcos Costa, ignored posted weight restrictions that barred big rigs from the highway. He was charged with vehicular manslaughter.
