California highway patrol officer charged with murder over crash that killed four

California Highway Patrol officer Angelo Rodriguez was charged with second-degree murder for a fatal crash in Norwalk last July. Prosecutors allege Rodriguez was driving at 130 mph without lights or sirens and without a clear reason when he rear-ended a Nissan, occupied by Julie Harmori and three passengers. Rodriguez allegedly failed to provide aid or alert other drivers, and left the scene. A second vehicle, driven by Iris Salmeron, then crashed into the Nissan, causing it to catch fire and resulting in the deaths of Harmori, Armand Del Campo, Jordan Partridge, and Samantha Skocilik. Salmeron, who was allegedly driving under the influence, has also been charged with second-degree murder. Rodriguez was later fired from the highway patrol.
