KINGSTON – A New Paltz man was indicted by an Ulster County grand jury on four counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and one count of assault.
The charges against Abram Almahri, 19, stem from a two-vehicle collision on Henry DuBois Drive that occurred at about 10:30 p.m. on Friday, March 29, 2019.
A State Police investigation revealed that Almahri failed to stop at a stop sign and collided into the rear of a car driven by Charles Rodriguez, who was severely injured.
A passenger in Almahri’s car, Jade Randazzo, 25, of New Paltz, was killed.
Two other passengers in Almahri’s car, Walter Morales-Duarte and Jacob Davis, both of New Paltz, also suffered serious injuries.
Almahri’s blood alcohol content at the time of the crash was over the legal limit.
If convicted, he could face up to 25 years in state prison.
