Gastonia man indicted in fatal October crashGASTONIA, N.C. (AP) — A Gastonia man has been indicted on a felony death by vehicle charge following a fatal crash. The Gaston Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/VyUbnv) that 25-year-old Andres E. Alvarez-Salinas was indicted last week. He turned himself in to authorities Friday. Authorities say Alvarez-Salinas was driving his 2007 Toyota early on the morning of October 31 when he crossed the center line, ran off the road and flipped several times. Twenty-one-year-old Jorge Lopez was ejected through the sunroof and died at the scene. Another passenger was critically injured, while a third passenger was not hurt. Troopers say the group was coming home from Charlotte and that alcohol and speed both factored into the crash. Alvarez-Salinas was jailed on $10,000 bond. It wasn't known if he had an attorney. ___ Information from: The Gaston Gazette, http://www.gastongazette.com |
