LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Southern California man has been sentenced to three years of probation for a car wreck that led to the electrocution of two people who tried to help him.
Los Angeles County prosecutors said in a statement Wednesday that 21-year-old Arman Samsonian of Glendale will also have to perform 70 days of community service and spend one day working at the county morgue.
In August 2012, Samsonian’s car hit a fire hydrant, and two good Samaritans who ran to help him stepped in water electrified by a toppled light pole.
Samsonian pleaded no contest in May to vehicular manslaughter.
The judge says Samsonian will go to prison if he commits another vehicular violation while on probation.
