Antonio Garriett, 51, was charged after being involved in a major crash that killed 69-year-old Adrian Perez near Garinger High School in Charlotte, NC. Two other victims sustained serious injuries during the crash and were sent to a hospital. Antonio had a revoked license and was restricted from driving, officials say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 24, 2021, a fatal motor vehicle collision occurred near the intersection of Eastway Drive and East Sugar Creek Road. The massive collision shut down traffic in the area for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The preliminary investigation indicates a Dodge Caravan which was being driven by Adrian had become disabled in the roadway. Adrian was joined by two other pedestrians in an attempt to assist with his disabled van. A 2006 Mercedes-Benz S500 driven by Antonio was traveling when it struck Adrian and all the pedestrians who were standing at the rear of the van trying to move it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mercedes-Benz then struck the van in the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adrian was pronounced deceased on the scene. Paramedics transported the two remaining pedestrians to the hospital to be treated for serious injuries they sustained as a result of the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Antonio was determined not to be impaired, and speed was not a contributing factor to this collision. Antonio however, was charged with driving while license revoked, failure to register a motor vehicle, and no liability insurance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
