A teenage Lamborghini driver who was involved in a high-speed
crash that killed a 32-year-old woman in Los Angeles is now
facing charges.

The 17-year-old driver is set to be arraigned on April 23 after
being arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter two months
earlier. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told
ABC News that the specific charges can't be revealed until the
arraignment hearing since the driver is a juvenile.

Monique Munoz was driving westbound on Olympic Boulevard in West
Los Angeles on Feb. 17 when she tried to turn left onto Overland
Avenue and was struck by the teenager's eastbound Lamborghini
SUV.

Although the driver has now been charged, Munoz's mother told
Fox 11 that the fight to bring justice for her daughter is
"still not over" as the family wants him tried as an adult.

The LAPD West Traffic Division tweeted that the wreck served as
a "costly reminder for everyone to slow down" and that
"tragedies like this could be prevented if everyone drove
responsibly."

Munoz died at the scene. The teenage Lamborghini driver was in
the hospital with serious head injuries for several days but has
since returned home.

Felix Lee, the director of accident reconstruction at the
National Biomechanics Institute, estimated the Lamborghini was
traveling 65 mph, or roughly double the speed limit, for it to
cause as much damage as it did.

"Speed is an issue," Lee told Fox News in March. "There is speed
involved for the Lamborghini to cause [the Lexus] to laterally
move that far. I definitely believe it was traveling greater
than the speed limit of 35 to cause that, maybe even closer to
two times that speed limit."

The Lamborghini SUV that the 17-year-old was driving retails for
$218,000 and can go from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds.

The teen's father, prominent Los Angeles businessman James
Khuri, posted an apology on his Instagram account following the
collision.

"I am aware that the time it has taken me to communicate this
has caused further pain for everyone affected," Khuri wrote.
"Knowing that this will never do justice for the family of
Monique Munoz, I want to apologize to the Munoz family for the
tragic loss of their daughter."

Fox News is not naming the teenager because he is a minor.
