HPD reported that Cabrera was driving a black Chevrolet SUV northbound on the North Freeway service road when he left the roadway, drove across the grass median and up on to the freeway where he struck a silver Toyota RAV4 on its right passenger side.
That's when both vehicles spun, causing the RAV4 to veer across the grass median down to the service road and in front of a business.
There were seven people inside the RAV4, including a female passenger pronounced dead at the scene and another female passenger seriously injured.
