The crashed occurred in September when Officer Nancy Garcia was responding to a call regarding a parolee search and went through a red light. Susanne Antuna died at the scene and her husband Charles Antuna died at UCI Medical Center the following morning. A civil suit has been brought on behalf of the couple’s four surviving children. According to the CHP investigation Garcia was driving at a speed of 65mph; they have recommended that she be charged with vehicular manslaughter. See Penal Code Section 192.5.
