Brandon Leon, 31 of Fillmore, will stand trial in connection with a fatal 2015 crash. He was arrested by the CHP on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and gross vehicular manslaughter.

Leon fled the scene of the accident at Old Telegraph and Seventh Street which caused the death of the Santa Paula passenger in the other vehicle, and injuries to the driver. The CHP record shows the car was westbound on Old Telegraph when Leon entered the intersection at 7th Street colliding with it.

Leon is also charged with leaving the scene of the accident and driving with a suspended license due to prior DUI
convictions. Records show that Leon “had two prior DUI-related convictions and had been sentenced for the second one just ten days before the fatal crash.”
