The California Highway Patrol will recommend the filing of criminal charges today against a Palm Desert woman involved in a two-vehicle accident April 22 that left three people dead, including two physically disabled passengers in a van.
CHP spokesman Chris Blondon said his department has urged the Riverside County district attorney’s office to charge Sofia Glentis, 58, with felony hit and run and three counts of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.
The CHP said Glentis caused the accident on the Pomona Freeway near Interstate 10 in Beaumont when she made an unsafe lane change.
