A car crash on a Southern California freeway last year was a staged wreck to scam a ride-hail driver's insurance company, authorities said Monday. On Nov. 23, 2024, a group of suspects ordered a ride-hail car that took them onto the 215 Freeway in San Bernardino, where John Murillo, 37, was driving another vehicle and intentionally collided with the ride-hail car, according to a California Department of Insurance news release.
Trista Ann Spicer testified on Monday, Oct. 27, that she killed her boyfriend in self-defense at her home in San Bernardino in 2014, telling jurors hearing her murder trial that she smashed his skull with a two-handed blow of a cast-iron skillet and sliced his throat with a knife he had stabbed her with a few minutes earlier as he threatened to kill her. The force of the blows broke the pan's handle, said Spicer, 46.
