LOS ANGELES, CA (December 5, 2022) — Ralph Barragan died while James Milliken Jr. was arrested after a pedestrian accident at Mt. San Antonio College (SAC) on Thursday, December 1.

The fatal incident occurred at around 7:30 a.m. in the parking lot of the campus, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities said Milliken, a former employee of Mt. SAC, drove a vehicle near the staff parking lot when he made an ‘intentional’ collision with the 63-year-old Barragan on a walkway right outside the bookstore.

The force of impact inflicted fatal injuries to Barragan, who died at the scene. Barragan was a tram driver for disabled students through the access program at the college for 15 years.

Officials then found an injured Milliken at a bus stop located several feet away from the vehicle. He then received treatment at a local hospital before getting arrested on suspicion of murder.

The motive behind the crash remains under investigation.

To that end, authorities are encouraging anyone with information to contact them at 323-890-5500.
