Luis Marcial Diaz, 21, faces one felony count of murder for the death of 61-year-old Kyu Chen, of Irvine, who was on her way to work just after 4 a.m. Sept. 27 when Diaz crashed into her vehicle, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said.
That day, Diaz ran a red light at the intersection of Sand Canyon Road and Irvine Center Drive as Chen was driving through the intersection, resulting in a crash that killed the woman, according to the DA’s office.
