LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Charges have been filed against the 17-year-old driver of a Lamborghini SUV involved in a fatal crash in West Los Angeles in February.
Demonstrations calling for charges to be filed in the crash that killed 32-year-old Monique Munoz were held last month at the crash scene and outside Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti s official residence, Getty House.
The charges were filed Wednesday.
Relatives of Munoz and activists had alleged that charges had not been filed because of the wealth and influence of the teen driver s father, James Khuri, described by Forbes as a multimillionaire who owns several real estate firms, manufacturing companies and an e-commerce business.
The driver of the Lamborghini Urus was taken to a hospital with moderate injuries, Humphrey said.
In a news release issued last month, Los Angeles police said the driver was arrested Feb. 23. He had a valid driver s license and there was no evidence of drug, alcohol or street racing, police said.

Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Brian Wendling told the Los Angeles Times the Lamborghini driver s arrest was only delayed by the fact that he had to be hospitalized for injuries sustained in the crash.
