BOYLE HEIGHTS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A 34-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of felony vehicular manslaughter after one person was killed when a car crashed into a Boyle Heights taco stand Sunday night.

Maribel Rosas is suspected of crashing her Nissan Altima into parked cars and a taco stand in the 370 block of South Clarence Street around 10 p.m. Authorities said people were ordering and waiting for food when the car careened into the stand.
