A 33-year-old man was charged with aggravated involuntary manslaughter and other charges for a fatal traffic accident on Richmond Highway Monday night.
Besides manslaughter, authorities charged Carlos Sanchez-Ramos, of Springfield, with driving while intoxicated, driving on an alcohol-related revoked license, child endangerment and two counts of felony hit and run.
Authorities said Sanchez was driving a 1994 Honda Civic northbound on Richmond Highway when he lost control of his car and struck a Ford Fusion driven by 54-year-old Paul J. Krause.
The Ford was pushed into southbound traffic on Richmond Highway and struck a 2010 Mercedes-Benz head-on. The driver and passenger of the Mercedes, a 77-year-old man and a 73-year-old woman, were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Krause was killed in the crash.
Police said Sanchez-Ramos took a 3-year-old boy from his car and fled the accident scene on foot. The child wasn’t hurt.
A 31-year-old man also in Sanchez-Ramos’ car remained at the scene after the crash. He was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
