A Plymouth County man officials say fled the scene of a car crash that left a woman dead has been indicted by a grand jury, according to Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz.
Juan Leonardo Parra Altamirano, 33, was indicted on Tuesday on the charge of leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death, Cruz said. Altamirano is currently being held without bail pending his arraignment in Superior Court.
A 2008 Toyota Scion TC and a 2015 Honda Accord were traveling northbound on Route 24 in West Bridgewater around 10:30 p.m. on April 3, the district attorney said. The two cars collided, which left the Honda Accord with no lights in the middle of the lane.
Another collision occurred between an oncoming pickup truck and the Honda Accord, the district attorney said. According to the Massachusetts State Police, the Honda Accord was engulfed in flames and killed the driver, 46-year-old Erpharo Gilbert of Raynham, WJAR reported.
The operator of the Toyota Scion – Altamirano – got out of his vehicle and eventually fled the scene, the officials said. The Toyota Scion had left behind a bumper sticker and a license plate.
