A 31-year-old Carlsbad man has been arrested in connection with the theft of a purse from the scene of a crash on Interstate 5 that killed a pregnant Tijuana woman, the California Highway Patrol said Wednesday.
Mark Christopher Struk is in jail and will be charged with felony theft, the CHP said. Police are seeking a female passenger from Struk's car who allegedly grabbed the purse beside an overturned vehicle. Struk and a companion allegedly came upon the crash on the I-5 in Solana Beach about 1 a.m. Sunday as off-duty law enforcement officers and Marines were attempting to save Yina Gonzalez, 24.
