A commander and an investigator from a Mexican federal police unit were ordered Thursday to stand trial on charges of having more than $600,000 in drug money.

After losing the ability to brake coming down the steep Angeles Crest Highway, the driver of a big rig truck this morning smashed the truck into seven parked cars near Foothill Boulevard, police said.

A big rig that apparently lost its brakes crashed into several vehicles in the parking lot of a restaurant in La Canada Flintridge today, leaving one person with a minor injury, authorities said.
