Turlock Police Arrest Man In Alleged DUI Crash That Killed Three Generations Of Family

TURLOCK (CBS13) — A man suspected in the deadly DUI crash that killed three generations of a family has been arrested, according to the Turlock Police Department.

Luis Miguel Cruz, 28, was booked on charges of felony hit-and-run, felony DUI and three counts of vehicular manslaughter.

Dozens of people gathered at a makeshift memorial; they prayed in Spanish for little 4-year-old Brian Flores and his family on Sunday.

Brian, his sister Emily, their mother Julia and grandmother Maria Elena were walking around the neighborhood Saturday night – a walk neighbors say the family often took.

But no one in this quiet Turlock neighborhood expected what would happen next: A car speeding down the street veered into the sidewalk and slammed into the family.

Rescue crews couldn't save him, either. He later died at the hospital, while his mom and grandmother died at the scene. The sole survivor is 2-year-old Emily, who clung to her grandfather as we spoke to him.
