Murder charges were field Wednesday against the driver in a December crash that left a Hacienda Heights woman dead and her two sons seriously injured.

Aron Harutun Petrosian’s arraignment was continued to May 20, Los Angeles County District Attorney spokeswoman Sarah Ardalani said. The Hacienda Heights resident, now 18, was arrested by California Highway Patrol officials on April 30, CHP Officer Edgar Figueroa said.

Petrosian, who was 17 at the time of the crash, was speeding in a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS on Halliburton Road in Hacienda Heights when he hit a 2007 BMW 328i at the intersection of Durazno Drive on Dec. 17, Figueroa wrote in a statement.

The crash killed 42-year-old Bertha Rosales and seriously injured her sons, Isaac, 13, and Ramon Jr., 10.
