Prosecutors in Orange County have decided not to file charges against a man who was arrested on suspicion of a Los Angeles DUI after he rear-ended a deputy sheriff's car on the 91 freeway. The Los Angeles deputy sheriff was off-duty and was rear-ended by the car that was driving at about 100 mph.
According to officials, after the crash, the driver tried to flee the scene but was detained by the deputy. Debris from the crash hit a car driven by the principal of Marina High School in Huntington Beach, who was returning from a boys' basketball game with an assistant principal. Both were injured in the crash and have not yet returned to work.
The District Attorney's Office said there was insufficient evidence at this time to file charges against Thomas Reed, 23, of Canyon Lake, but added that if further evidence is presented to the prosecutor's office, charges could still be filed.
Jonathan Kerber, 23, a Los Angeles deputy sheriff, was driving his 2003 Honda Civic when he saw Reed's 2007 GMC Sierra approaching him at about 100 mph. He tried to get out of the way but was rear-ended instead.
After the collision, the Honda Civic veered onto a dirt area on the right and collided with a chain link fence. The GMC Sierra veered to the left and plowed through yellow dividers before hitting the center divider.
The principal and assistant principal of Marina High School were driving along the highway when they struck debris from the crash at about 60 mph. According to the principal, Paul Morrow, the collision with the debris sent him launching into the air. The assistant principal, Jeanne Ellis, suffered multiple injuries, including broken bones. Morrow suffered several bruises and concussions.
Reed was released from Orange County Central Jail about noon on February 22. He pleaded guilty in 2007 to possessing alcohol when he was under age.
