UPDATE: Suspect's crash into law-enforcement recruits in Whittier believed to be intentional, officials say
Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez was arrested Wednesday and has been charged with attempted murder on a peace officer, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Additional charges are currently pending, authorities said.
The collision left the 25 recruits with injuries ranging from head trauma to loss of limbs. At last check, one remains hospitalized on a ventilator. A total of five recruits are currently in critical condition, four are being treated for "moderate" injuries and 16 have minor injuries. There was no indication of any obstacles or other vehicles on the road that would trigger the driver's behavior. The Honda SUV also crashed into a light pole and knocked it down after striking the recruits.
The test does not rule out drugs, but Villanueva said the official cause of the incident remains unknown.
