RIP JULIANA HAMORI ( July 20, 2025)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Sunday.

Jordan Partridge, Samantha Skocilic, Armand Del Campo and Julie Hamori were four friends who were all fatally injured when a suspected drunk driver slammed into their car.

The incident happened at around 1:00 a.m. at the 105/605 interchange in Norwalk.

* It later was revealed that they were initially hit by a CHP patrol car, whose driver removed the vehicle without deploying flares or warning lights. They were in effect stranded like sitting ducks. Seven minutes later, the drunk driver ended up killing the four.

UPDATE: In March 16: A former CHP officer and the other driver were charged in this four-death DUI collision — Angelo Rodriguez and Iris Salmeron.
