Two individuals were killed in two different motor vehicle crashes in Massachusetts this week, as reported by officials who are involved with the fatal accidents.
Motor Vehicle Homicide Charges for Driver in Fatal 1-93 Crash
Cristian Hernandez-Giron, 32, of Central Falls, Rhode Island died from his injuries in a car accident late Monday afternoon on I-93 South in Wilmington. Hernandez-Giron was a passenger in a box truck operated by Luis Gasparico, 25, of Providence, Rhode Island.
The Boston Globe reports that Gasparico was driving on the highway just after 5:00pm when a van driven by Greg Galanopoulos, 49, of Medford veered from the left travel lane into Gasparico’s truck, causing the truck to roll over before it came to a rest in the median.
State police report that Hernandez-Giron and Gasparico were both trapped in the truck while waiting for first responders to arrive on the accident scene.
Hernandez-Giron was declared dead at an area hospital in Burlington, while Gasparico was discharged from the same hospital some time later.
Galanopoulos was operating a van that is owned by a Somerville painting company. There were two passengers in the van, identified as Andreas Matidis, 55, of Malden and Ronald Ramirez-Guzman, 28, of Chelsea.
Matidis sustained minor injuries in the collision, while Galanopoulos and Ramirez-Guzman were not injured.
Massachusetts State Police report that Galanopoulos faces charges of motor vehicle homicide by negligent operation, driving without a license, and additionally faces citations for speeding and marked lanes violations.
Drunk Driver Kills Pedestrian in Burlington
The second accident this week resulted in the death of Daniel Jalbert, 51, of Burlington who was walking at the intersection of Cambridge Street and Olympian Way in Burlington Sunday evening when he was hit by a drunk driver.
Anthony Manfredi, 48, of Dracut was reportedly driving drunk when he hit Jalbert around 8:00pm that evening.
The Boston Globe reports that Jalbert was immediately rushed to an area hospital for treatment, but succumbed to his injuries the following morning.
According to The Globe, Manfredi is currently being held on $5,000 bail for a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol in relation to the fatal crash. Police have not announced yet if Manfredi will face additional charges following Jalbert’s death.
Manfredi is due back in court for a pretrial hearing in early September.
Authorities are continuing to investigate both of these tragic accidents.
