Margo Bronstein, 56, is expected to be arraigned later in the day, said Ri- cardo Santiago with the Los Angeles County district at- torney's office. She was charged with four counts of gross vehicular manslaugh- ter and one count of driv- ing under the influence of a drug causing injury. Five children and eight adults, including the sus- pect and the driver of an- other car, suffered injuries such as broken bones, abra- sions and head trauma in the crash Wednesday night. Authorities are investigat- ingwhatleduptothewoman driving through a red light andintonearlyadozenpeople as they left a church Christ- mas event in Redondo Beach. She also hit another vehicle head-on, authorities say. Samuel Gaza, 6, died late Thursday at a hospi- tal, according to Los Ange- les County coroner's Lt. Da- vid Smith. Three adults died earlier, including the boy's mother, Martha Gaza, 36; along with Mary Anne Wilson, 81; and Saeko Matsumura, 87, all of Torrance Bronstein was arrested at the scene. Authorities said they believed she had taken prescription drugs but were awaiting the results of a toxicology test. A message seeking com- ment left at a phone num- ber listed for Bronstein was not immediately returned, and it wasn't immediately known if she has an attor- ney. Officials said they do not have information linking her to any prior arrests or DUI-related incidents. She had a perfect driving record but was restricted to driving a vehicle with hand- controlled brakes, an addi- tional right-side mirror and adequate signaling device, according to Department of Motor Vehicle records. The DMV had no record listing her as handicapped, however. Friends and neighbors said she used crutches at times and a motorized wheelchair at longer dis- tances, but they did not know why. The pedestrians on Wednesday night had just attended a student Christ- mas program at St. James Catholic Church when the motorist sped around the other vehicles in a white Sat- urn sedan and plowed into the crowd before hitting an- other car head-on, police Lt. Shawn Freeman said. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Driverchargeda ercarcrashesintocrowd By Christopher Weber The Associated Press VENTURA Lowell Stew- ard, a former member of the Tuskegee Airmen who flew nearly 200 missions over Europe during World War II, has died in Califor- nia. He was 95. His son Lowell Jr. says Steward died Wednesday of natural causes at a hos- pital in Ventura. After graduating with a business degree from Santa Barbara College in 1941, Steward joined the Army Air Corps and trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama. He was shipped to It- aly in 1944 with the 100th Fighter Squadron of the famed all-black unit. From Capodechino Air Base in Naples, Steward com- pleted 96 missions, flying P-39 Airacobras and P-40 Warhawks. Later based in Ramitelli, Italy, he flew 96 escort and strafing mis- sions in P-51 Mustangs. America's first black mil- itary pilots faced an un- precedented level of scru- tiny under racial segrega- tion. As a result they held themselves to a higher stan- dard, Steward often said. "He would say, 'we had to be better because we were looked at harder. The odds were stacked against us. Some people wanted us to fail,'" Lowell Jr. said. Steward was ultimately awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. After being discharged in 1946, he moved to Los Angeles and tried to buy a house, only to be repeat- edly denied bank loans be- cause he was black. "After several encoun- ters like that he said, 'I need to figure out how to finance my own home.' That's when he went to real estate school," Lowell Jr. said. Steward became one of the first black real estate agents in Los Angeles and went on to a 40-year career in the industry.
