A couple, Ryan Davis and Asia Boatwright, died last year in the collision with pursued suspect Gustavo Ruelas Jr., 43.
LOS ANGELES — The mothers of a man and his girlfriendduring a California Highway Patrol chase of an ex-convict in 2021 are suing the state for wrongful death, alleging the deaths could have been prevented had the driver of the CHP vehicle called for air support and abandoned the vehicle chase.
Ruelas had prior convictions from 2003 for fleeing or attempting to elude a pursuing peace officer and from 2010 for a drug offense, prosecutors said. Boatwright, a 22-year-old phlebotomist, and Davis, 27, were trapped in the wreckage and had to be freed by Los Angeles County firefighters. Boatwright died at the scene of the crash and Davis died at a hospital.
