California freeway crash leaves 6 people dead
POMONA, Calif. – A wrong-way driver on a Southern California freeway was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after causing a predawn crash with multiple vehicles Sunday leaving six people dead, a highway patrol officer told the Los Angeles Times.
Police arrested the 21-year-old female driver on suspicion of felony driving under the influence and felony manslaughter in connection with the 4:40 a.m. accident.
It occurred on the westbound Pomona freeway, or State Route 60, in Diamond Bar, said Rodrigo Jimenez, a California Highway Patrol spokesman on the scene, who spoke to the Los Angeles Times.
The female driver was in serious condition at a Los Angeles County hospital with a broken femur and a ruptured bladder, he said. Authorities were seeking blood tests.
Mark Zuckerberg biggest giver in 2013
SEATTLE – Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, were the most generous American philanthropists in 2013.
They topped the list because of a donation of 18 million shares of Facebook stock – valued at more than $970 million – sent to a Silicon Valley nonprofit in December.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy reported Zuckerberg’s donation was the largest charitable gift on the public record in 2013.
This put the young couple at the top of the magazine’s annual list of 50 most generous Americans in 2013.
The top 50 contributors made donations last year totaling $7.7 billion, plus pledges of $2.9 billion.
The Chronicle’s editor said the most significant fact from the list was the amount of money coming from living donors, which totaled about the same amount as the two previous years combined.
Some of the nation’s biggest givers do not appear on the 2013 list.
This is not because they stopped being generous but because their donations in 2013 were counted as pledges in previous years.
