A 28-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after he struck and killed three family members who were taking their regular afternoon walk, Turlock police said Tuesday.
Luis Miguel Cruz was one of two occupants inside a white BMW that hit a 47-year-old woman, her 20-year-old daughter-in-law and 4-year-old grandson about 7:44 p.m. Friday, according to the Turlock Police Department.
He was taken into custody on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence of alcohol and felony hit-and-run for trying to run away from the crash, police said.
The older woman, Elena Flores, was walking with her daughter-in-law, Julia Flores, and her two children, ages 2 and 4, on the sidewalk when the BMW, which was traveling at a high rate of speed, veered off road, police said.
