SANTA ANA — A 35-year-old Riverside man was behind bars Monday on suspicion of a fatal crash into a Garden Grove residence early Sunday.
The suspect, whose name authorities would not release, crashed a 2019 Toyota Camry into a residence in the 11800 block of Magnolia Street about 1:55 a.m. Sunday, according to police. The victim was identified as 40-year-old Janet Carrillo.
Police received multiple calls of a hit-and-run, and when officers arrived, witnesses pointed to the suspect, who left the scene and was arrested without incident, police said.
Carrillo was trapped by the vehicle that crashed into her home and was later pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Police alleged the suspect was apparently under the influence and that it appears to have contributed to the crash.
