A man, 69-year old man, charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the crash that killed a 3-year old girl, in 2008, pleaded no contest in Pomona Superior Court. The little girl was walking with her 5-year old sister and father near a school in Diamond Bar when the incident occurred. The man’s Pathfinder went over the curb and struck the little girl; she died 24 hours later.
A sergeant from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department said the man was dropping off his children at the school when he lost control of his SUV.
The judge sentenced the man to 3 years of probation and 400 hours of community service at a local hospital. He is also ordered to pay an unknown amount of restitution to the family of this little girl.
My condolences go out to the family and friends of this little girl.
