LOS ANGELES, CA : Driver charged in crash that killed LASD recruit, injured 24 others on Thursday, 9th November 2023

Charges have been filed against a wrong-way driver who plowed his SUV into a group of Los Angeles County sheriff's recruits in Whittier last year, a crash that killed one recruit.

Nicholas Gutierrez, 23, was re-arrested and charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and nine counts of reckless driving causing great bodily injury, prosecutors said Thursday.

In November 2022, 25 law enforcement recruits were injured during a training run in Whittier after an SUV swerved into the opposite side of the road and slammed into the group. The recruits suffered injuries ranging from minor to critical.
