At LAT, "Wrong-way driver was going more than 100 mph, witnesses say":
A suspected drunk driver going in the wrong direction on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar was traveling faster than 100 mph when she caused an accident early Sunday that killed six people, witnesses told the California Highway Patrol.
Olivia Carolee Culbreath, 21, of Fontana, has been arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the influence and felony manslaughter, said Rodrigo Jimenez, a CHP spokesman.
Culbreath is in serious but stable condition at Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center with a broken femur and a ruptured bladder, Jimenez said. She was conscious and was questioned by authorities, Jimenez added.
She was heading east on the westbound 60 Freeway about 4:40 a.m. when her red Chevrolet Camaro collided head-on with a red Ford Explorer, authorities said. Another vehicle was also involved in the accident, Jimenez said. At least two people were ejected from their vehicles, he said.
