Man fleeing hit-and-run crash charged in young girl's death following second crash
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man was arrested Thursday related to the death of a 4-year-old girl following a July 11 hit-and-run crash in southeast Travis County.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), 66-year-old David Reynoso Jaimes was booked into the Travis County Jail on a warrant for manslaughter, a second-degree felony.
Jail records show he remained booked as of Friday on a $100,000 bond.
KXAN has reached out to Jaimes’ attorney. This article will be updated if a statement is received.
According to Jaimes’ arrest warrant, while driving away from a separate hit-and-run crash that occurred near William Cannon Drive and U.S. 183, Jaimes drove into a vehicle stopped at a red light on FM 812.
After striking the second vehicle, a child passenger in the back seat of that vehicle was partially ejected. The child was unconscious and not breathing after the crash, according to documents.
A nurse who happened to be near the area stopped and performed chest compressions on the child, who was identified as 4-year-old Alaia Rose Carrizales, until Travis County Fire arrived and took over.
Documents said Alaia died at the scene, while Jaimes and two others from the second vehicle were taken to the hospital for treatment.
According to court documents, Jaimes’ driver’s license expired in 1996.
