Overview

• The claim alleges a CHP cruiser rear-ended a Nissan before 1 a.m. on July 20 near Rosecrans Avenue, leaving the car disabled in traffic without flares or cones.
• Attorneys say several minutes passed before a Kia struck the stranded Nissan, causing a fire that killed all four occupants.
• The Kia driver, identified as Iris Salmeron, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in a separate criminal investigation.
• Relatives cite a 12:56 a.m. text from victim Armand Del Campo saying the group was okay, which they say conflicts with a 12:50 a.m. pronouncement time they were given.
• The CHP says both crashes remain under investigation and has declined further comment, while families say they have been denied access to the vehicle and camera footage.
