   A teenage Lamborghini driver who was involved in a high-speed   
   crash that killed a 32-year-old woman in Los Angeles is now   
   facing charges.   
      
   The 17-year-old driver is set to be arraigned on April 23 after   
   being arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter two months   
   earlier. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told   
   ABC News that the specific charges can't be revealed until the   
   arraignment hearing since the driver is a juvenile.   
      
   Monique Munoz was driving westbound on Olympic Boulevard in West   
   Los Angeles on Feb. 17 when she tried to turn left onto Overland   
   Avenue and was struck by the teenager's eastbound Lamborghini   
   SUV.   
      
   Although the driver has now been charged, Munoz's mother told   
   Fox 11 that the fight to bring justice for her daughter is   
   "still not over" as the family wants him tried as an adult.   
      
   The LAPD West Traffic Division tweeted that the wreck served as   
   a "costly reminder for everyone to slow down" and that   
   "tragedies like this could be prevented if everyone drove   
   responsibly."   
      
   Munoz died at the scene. The teenage Lamborghini driver was in   
   the hospital with serious head injuries for several days but has   
   since returned home.   
      
   Felix Lee, the director of accident reconstruction at the   
   National Biomechanics Institute, estimated the Lamborghini was   
   traveling 65 mph, or roughly double the speed limit, for it to   
   cause as much damage as it did.   
      
   "Speed is an issue," Lee told Fox News in March. "There is speed   
   involved for the Lamborghini to cause [the Lexus] to laterally   
   move that far. I definitely believe it was traveling greater   
   than the speed limit of 35 to cause that, maybe even closer to   
   two times that speed limit."   
      
   The Lamborghini SUV that the 17-year-old was driving retails for   
   $218,000 and can go from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds.   
      
   The teen's father, prominent Los Angeles businessman James   
   Khuri, posted an apology on his Instagram account following the   
   collision.   
      
   "I am aware that the time it has taken me to communicate this   
   has caused further pain for everyone affected," Khuri wrote.   
   "Knowing that this will never do justice for the family of   
   Monique Munoz, I want to apologize to the Munoz family for the   
   tragic loss of their daughter."   
      
   Fox News is not naming the teenager because he is a minor.
