A 24-year-old Highland woman has been charged with driving under the influence and causing a Santa Ana car crash that threw 18-year-old Cameron Cook of Ladera Ranch over a freeway guardrail and 50 feet to his death, according to a news report.
Ashley Selina Bryan has been charged with three felony counts in connection with the death of Cook after she failed to avoid a disabled car on the 57 freeway in Orange. Cook was standing near the disabled vehicle, and the impact of the crash sent him falling backwards over a guardrail and onto a concrete embankment 50 to 60 feet below.
The driver of the disabled car, 18-year-old Logan Vescio, was sitting in his car at the time of the crash and suffered minor injuries. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
