A 35-year-old man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of two counts of vehicular manslaughter in connection with a crash that killed a married couple as they were walking across a Point Loma street six weeks ago.
Kevin William Thomer of San Diego was allegedly speeding westbound in the 5000 block of North Harbor Drive when his Porsche Cayenne SUV struck Jerome Zimmer, 71, and his 69-year-old wife, Madelyn, about 6 p.m. Jan. 19, according to the San Diego Harbor Police.
The Zimmers, residents of Alberta, Canada, died at the scene, SDHP Sgt. T.D. De La Pena said.
At the time of the crash, police said the driver of the vehicle had stopped and cooperated with them, though no arrest was made then.
Thomer was booked into San Diego Central Jail, where he was being held on $50,000 bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Monday afternoon.
