An Ogden man is now facing multiple charges in connection to a fatal DUI crash that left a 15 year-old girl dead and her 13 year old brother injured.
Alexis Javier Garcia-Torres was booked into the Utah County Jail Thursday on charges of Automobile Homicide, Criminal Negligence, Driving on a Suspended License, Reckless Driving, and Driving under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs.
15 year-old Arely Hernandez-Cuenca was walking on the sidewalk with her 13 year-old brother Kevin when they were struck by the vehicle, which also hit a metal pole. Both children were transported to Primary Children's Medical Center in critical condition, where Arely later died from her injuries. After being taken to the Lehi PD headquarters and being read his Miranda rights, Garcia-Torres told officers that he had fallen asleep at the wheel. However, when pressed, he told officers that he had gotten a normal amount of sleep the night prior. He later stated that he had started to feel tired and reached down for an energy drink when he fell asleep.
