A driver was arrested and charged with DUI early Saturday after a car crashed into three vehicles parked on Pacific Coast Highway, killing one person and injuring two others.
The man was traveling south on the highway near Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades about 12:45 a.m. Saturday when he crashed into the parked vehicles, driving two of them off the road and onto the rocks along the ocean, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The vehicles struck three people who were sitting on the rocks. A 32-year-old woman was declared dead at the scene of the crash, and a 32-year-old woman and 17-year-old boy were taken to a nearby hospital, where they were in stable condition, an LAPD spokesperson said Saturday morning.
