The lawyer for the man who was driving an SUV that veered across a road and crashed into a large group of law enforcement recruits last week has said it was a “tragic accident” that occurred when his client fell asleep at the wheel.
Nicholas Gutierrez, 22, of Diamond Bar was driving to work in his Honda CR-V early on Wednesday when the vehicle plowed into a group of 75 police trainees out on a morning training run in the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier.
