Bail was set at $8 million and $8.1 million for a now-former CHP officer and a suspected drunk driver in a fiery chain-reaction crash that killed four people in Norwalk.

One of two drivers charged over a head-on crash that killed an innocent 26-year-old man was chasing a suspected scrap-metal thief the wrong way along the Bruce Highway.

The incident occurred around 10.20pm on Sunday March 15, when police were called to reports of a road traffic collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian on Hertford Road, Enfield.
