After colliding with Burns' vehicle, the Acura hit the Honda.

Ochoa was arrested on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, felony driving under the influence and reckless driving.

Morales is being charged with suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and reckless driving.

Burns was reportedly on his way to work when the crash occurred.
