Horrific videos show the moment a teenage driver allegedly sped up to more than 100 miles per hour to deliberately smash into cars stopped at a red light, killing his pregnant girlfriend and now two others.
The dramatic footage was played at a bail hearing for accused murderer Jose Gutierrez, 19, on Thursday — the same day a newlywed woman became the third to die from the horrific Nov. 18 crash.
Prosecutors argued that it showed Gutierrez accelerating up to 109 mph in a 45-mph zone before deliberately crashing into the stationary cars, sending debris flying — with one car spinning across the intersection in flames.
“He hits [the gas] from about eight-tenths of a mile away straight at a light that is dead red,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Nicholas Portz said, 8NewsNow reported.
Gutierrez’s girlfriend, Adilene Duran Rincon, who was three months pregnant, was killed in the crash — with her boyfriend driving her mom’s 2011 Infiniti G37 at the time.
He’d previously been accused of domestic abuse — and threatening to kill a cop who responded — and had also scared her by driving too fast, prosecutors alleged.
Another driver, Edward Garcia, 38, was declared dead at the scene.
Vanessa Vasquez, 25 — who had been married just nine months — died of her injuries Thursday, prosecutors revealed at the hearing.
Gutierrez is facing two counts of murder. Prosecutors have yet to change the charges after Vasquez’s death. He was denied bail. --->READ MORE HERE
Newly released body camera footage has revealed the horror aftermath of a 12-vehicle crash that authorities believe was 'intentionally' caused by a teen driver, killing his pregnant girlfriend and two others.
Jose Gutierrez, 19, is facing murder charges for allegedly slamming his Infiniti G37 into multiple vehicles stopped at a red light at an intersection in Las Vegas.
Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said Gutierrez 'made no attempts to break' and filed murder charges based on evidence that the horror crash was 'intentional.'
Authorities identified two victims who died at the scene, including Gutierrez's girlfriend, Adilene Duran Rincon, 20, who was riding in the passenger seat and was pregnant. A passenger in one of the other vehicles, Edward Garcia, 38, also died.
Vanessa Lainez Vasquez, 25, suffered critical injuries and was put in a medically induced coma after the crash.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Nicholas Portz announced at Gutierrez's court appearance on Thursday that Vasquez had succumbed to her injuries and was identified as the third victim.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released two videos from body camera footage of the crash on Friday, revealing the terror in the aftermath of the crash.
Several bystanders and witnesses joined first responders to help survivors out of their wrecked vehicles.
One clip depicted two first responders pulling a man from the driver's side of a wrecked car.
He struggled to get to his feet but was conscious and communicated with first responders.
The man writhed in pain as crews escorted him to the side of the road so he could sit down.
The video footage captured a gash on the side of his face as he sat and held his stomach in pain.
Survivors were seen being taken into ambulances as wreckage from the dozen vehicles littered the intersection.
At one point, an Amazon driver rushed to the officer to direct him to a survivor trapped inside a vehicle. --->READ MORE HERE
