California dreams end in nightmare for woman charged in violent wrong-way 405 Freeway crash



Like countless others before her, Lisa Ann Heflin of Oakview, Mo., headed to Los Angeles earlier this year chasing a dream of fame and fortune.

What she found instead was notoriety.

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office has identified Heflin, 41, as the driver of a white van that plowed into oncoming traffic on the 405 Freeway last week after crashing into several police cruisers and leading police on a wild pursuit.

The office on Wednesday charged Heflin with 10 counts of assault upon a peace officer, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of fleeing a pursuing peace officer’s motor vehicle while driving recklessly and one count of hit-and-run driving resulting in property damage.
