On Tuesday night, police told news sources that a San Diego woman has been arrested for suspicion of murder and driving under the influence.  The woman is connected to a fatal car accident that took place in April which led to the death of 95 year old Stevens Benjamin Friedman as well as the injuries of two others.

47 year old Melanie Rebecca Flores was placed under arrest by Coronado police at 7:30 PM on Tuesday.  She stands accused of driving while intoxicated on April 21, 2010.

During the accident, Flores hit two vehicles, injuring the vehicles' drivers and Friedman who was in the front passenger seat of one car.  He allegedly died of a blunt-force injury to his chest. 

Flores' arraignment took place this week Thursday.   Due to the serious injuries she suffered, Flores' arrest had been delayed by police.
