    DANA POINT, CA (NOVEMBER 7, 2023): 43-year-old Evan Madison Owen has been arrested on suspicion of DUI and second-degree murder following a fatal collision in Dana Point last week.

    According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, the incident occurred at around 8:20 p.m. Sunday as a 1999 Plymouth and a 2019 BMW traveled southbound on Coast Highway, south of Palisades Drive. The BMW then struck the Plymouth under unclear circumstances.

    Paramedics arrived on the scene shortly thereafter, and discovered the male driver of the Plymouth with critical injuries. The victim was then rushed to the hospital, where he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries and died at the facility.

    His identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

    Owen, the driver of the BMW, was initially arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence while causing injury. It was then revealed Owen had previous experience as a volunteer firefighter for the Los Angeles Fire Department, and his charges were elevated to second-degree murder.

    A quote from the Los Angeles Police Department stated that “… a second-degree murder charge was later included due to Owen’s knowledge of the danger of impaired driving. Owen had trained experience as a volunteer firefighter in the county of Los Angeles.”

    Despite arrests made, this incident remains under investigation by the LAPD. Authorities urge anyone with information pertinent to this case to contact the OCSD’s Traffic Bureau. Los Angeles authorities continue to look into the cause of this fatal DUI accident involving Evan Madison Owen.
