Teen Accused in High-Speed Crash

A deadly midnight crash on I-5 near Lacey may have been caused by a high-speed street race — investigators now zero in on a 21-year-old man accused of vehicular homicide after allegedly slamming into a car carrying a 50-year-old man who died instantly. The driver, Oscar Alferedo Herrera Rodriguez, faces serious charges, has $100K bail, and is banned from driving. A female passenger was hospitalized, and while Herrera claims he was going 69 mph with broken headlights, troopers found no signs of impairment. Prosecutors have until Wednesday to formally charge him — or his release could vanish. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
