Man Pleads No Contest In Deadly PCH Crash
Director Bob Clark, His Son Were Killed April 4

(CBS) LOS ANGELES A man who caused a crash on Pacific Coast Highway that killed the director of ''A Christmas Story'' and his son pleaded no contest Wednesday to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

Hector Manuel Velazquez-Nava, 24, faces a six-year state prison term when sentenced Sept. 27 at the Airport Branch Courthouse, according to the District Attorney's Office.

Velazquez-Nava -- a native of Mexico living in Los Angeles -- was charged with the two manslaughter counts two days after the April 4 crash that killed director Robert Clark, 67, of Pacific Palisades, and his son, Ariel Hanrath-Clark, 22, of Santa Monica.

The crash occurred about 2:20 a.m. on PCH between Sunset Boulevard and Temescal Canyon Road in Pacific Palisades when the GMC Yukon SUV Velazquez-Nava was driving drifted into oncoming traffic and struck the elder Clark's 1997 Infiniti Q30.

At the time of the crash, Velazquez-Nava had a blood-alcohol content of .24 -- three times the legal limit, according to the District Attorney's Office.

Clark directed numerous movies, included the holiday season standard "A Christmas Story" in 1983 and "Loose Cannons" in 1990. He also directed, wrote and produced the teen cult films "Porky's" and "Porky's II: The Next Day."

Velazquez-Nava is jailed without bail, and U.S. immigration officials have placed a hold on him, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Inmate Information Center Web site.
