California couple, son run over on Halloween die of injuries

A Southern California couple and their 3-year-old son have died of injuries after being run over by an SUV on Halloween night.

A Long Beach Police Department statement says the boy's mother, 32-year-old Raihan Awaida, died last night.

The father, 30-year-old Joseph Awaida, died earlier after being taken to a hospital Thursday night.

Police say they were notified Saturday that the boy had also died. Police don’t identify juveniles, but a GoFundMe page says the boy's name was Omar.

The family was struck when an SUV drove onto a sidewalk.

Police say 20-year-old Carlo Navarro of Long Beach was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence and gross vehicular manslaughter. The jail website shows he was released on bond.
