ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — An Altamonte Springs man has been arrested on DUI manslaughter charges in connection with a February crash that killed two women, according to the Altamonte Springs Police Department.
Police said 33-year-old Guillermo Mario Rojas was taken into custody Friday and charged with two counts of DUI manslaughter stemming from a three-vehicle crash that occurred on Feb. 17.
Officers responded to the crash around 7:32 p.m. at the intersection of East Altamonte Drive and Hermits Trail.
Investigators said Rojas was driving a Jeep Gladiator westbound when he collided with a Dodge Durango.
After the initial impact, authorities said he lost control of the vehicle, crossed the median into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on into a Honda SUV.
The two women inside the Honda SUV, who were family members, suffered critical injuries and later died as a result of the crash, police said.
