A collision involving an alleged drunk driver on 134 Freeway in Pasadena left a Monrovia man dead according to California Highway Patrol (CHP).
Eduardo Macias, 24, of Pasadena was found and arrested about two hours after the 1 a.m. crash on the eastbound 134 Freeway, just west of Orange Grove Boulevard and the 210 Freeway, CHP officials said in a written statement.
A 41-year-old Monrovia man died as a result of the accident.
Officials responded to reports of a multi-vehicle wreck and found a crash involving three vehicles, described as a 1998 Toyota, a 1992 Toyota and a 2016 Honda, according to the CHP.
Pasadena Fire Department paramedics pronounced the driver of the 1992 Toyota dead at the scene, officials said. Two 18-year-old women inside the Honda were treated for injuries.
The driver of the 1998 Toyota – later identified as Macias – fled from the scene on foot, according to the CHP statement.
CHP officers found and arrested Macias about two hours later.
After examination at a hospital, Macias was expected to be booked for felony drunken driving, she said. Additional charges, such as hit-and-run, may be sought by prosecutors later as well.
