A teenager from Hamden is under arrest in connection to a crash that killed a pregnant woman, the baby she was carrying and a teenager in April, according to police.
Officers say 19-year-old Abdulaziz Yuldoshev turned himself into Shelton Police on Monday. He is facing charges including manslaughter, negligent homicide with a motor vehicle, assault and illegal racing on a highway in connection to the deadly accident.
According to police, a Mini Cooper was going south on River Road on April 8 around 7:00 p.m. when it crashed into a Saturn going north. Two passengers in the Mini Cooper, 18-year-old Shalymar Herrera of West Haven and 23-year-old Briana Torres-Carter of Bridgeport were both pronounced dead.
Torres-Carter was pregnant, according to police. Her father-in-law said she was eight months along in the pregnancy. Her baby was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say Torres-Carter's husband, 19-year-old Lawrence Carter Jr. of Bridgeport was driving the Mini Cooper. He was critically injured in the accident. Another passenger in the car was also hospitalized with what police say were non-life threatening injuries.
The 25-year-old woman who was driving the Saturn and her two passengers, a 22-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man were also injured with what officials classified as non-life threatening injuries. All three are from Pennsylvania.
Additional arrests are expected, according to officers.
