Court documents accuse the Wake Forest man of driving while impaired and making an unsafe U-turn at a red light.
RALEIGH, N.C. — A tow truck driver was jailed on a total secured bond of $500,000 after police accused him of causing an impaired-driving crash that killed a motorcyclist and seriously injured three other people early Friday.
Warrants filed by Raleigh police identify the driver as 39-year-old Allan Christopher Guerrero of Wake Forest. He faces aggravated felony death by vehicle and three counts of felony serious injury by vehicle following the collision near Capital Boulevard and Trawick Road.
Guerrero is also charged with driving while impaired, driving without a license because of an impairment revocation, failure to stop at a steady red light, unsafe movement resulting in serious injury and another unsafe movement offense, according to the warrants. The charges are allegations, and Guerrero is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
Police said officers were called to the intersection about 2:35 a.m. Investigators believe Guerrero was attempting to make a U-turn at a red light when the tow truck pulled into the path of a northbound sedan and two motorcycles.
The sedan and motorcycles collided with the tow truck, police said. One motorcyclist, identified in warrants as Chandler Hodge, died. The other motorcyclist was hospitalized with serious injuries but was expected to survive.
The sedan’s passenger suffered life-threatening injuries, while its driver was hospitalized with serious injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Authorities did not release the names of the surviving victims or provide updated information about their conditions.
The warrants allege Guerrero was under the influence at the time of the crash. They also state that he did not have a valid driver’s license because of a previous impairment-related revocation following a driving while impaired conviction in May.
Details about that earlier case, including the sentence imposed and the precise terms of the license revocation, were not included in the available records. The prior conviction is relevant to the new allegations but does not establish guilt in the pending crash case.
Police also charged Guerrero with resisting a public officer and being intoxicated and disruptive. Warrants accuse him of refusing to follow an officer’s orders at the scene and causing a disturbance at a nearby McDonald’s after the collision.
Court records show a judge set a $350,000 secured bond for the felony charges connected to the death and injuries. A separate $150,000 secured bond was imposed for misdemeanor impairment-related charges.
The crash prompted an extended investigation along Capital Boulevard as officers examined the roadway and the four vehicles involved. Authorities have not said whether investigators obtained blood or breath test results, and no such results were included in the available information.
Raleigh police continued investigating the collision Friday. Information about Guerrero’s next court appearance and whether he had retained an attorney was not immediately available.
