A 25-year-old man and a 7-year-old boy have died after an argument turning into a single-car crash on the eastbound 91 freeway, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol reported that Mario Lopez Alaniz was a passenger in a 2003 Isuzu SUV and was arguing with the driver, his 41-year-old girlfriend, when he grabbed the wheel of the SUV. The driver lost control, veered across the eastbound lanes of the 91 freeway into an embankment, and hit a tree.
Lopez Alaniz was pronounced dead at the scene; a 7-year-old boy, Angel Granados, was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange, where he died later. The driver suffered minor injuries.
CHP investigators are looking into whether alcohol played a role in the fatal crash.
