Arraignment on Wednesday for Accused Wrong-Way Driver

Arraignment is scheduled Wednesday, Aug. 1, for a suspected drunken driver accused of going the wrong way on Interstate 15 near Via Rancho Parkway in Escondido, and killing a recently retired father of five.

Brian Joseph Webb, 34, of Murrieta, was arrested shortly after the July 28 head-on crash on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence causing bodily injury, driving under the influence with a prior conviction, hit-and-run resulting in death and driving with a suspended
license, according to jail records.

Webb was driving a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 when he allegedly entered northbound I-15 the wrong way from the northbound Del Lago offramp around 12:35 p.m. Saturday, the California Highway Patrol reported.

About the same time, neurophysiologist Robin Vaughan, 60, of Escondido
was riding his 2002 Harley-Davidson motorcycle northbound in the same lane and was struck head-on by Webb's vehicle, the CHP reported.

Officers allegedly found open containers of alcohol in Webb's truck, according to
the CHP. He was arrested at the scene.

Vaughan and his wife of 40 years, Donetta, were preparing to serve an 18-
month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, U-T San
Diego reported. In addition to his five children and wife, Vaughan is survived
by 15 grandchildren, according to the newspaper.
