Around 7 p.m. on Oct. 9, police said they arrived at the scene of a van that collided with a taco truck in Fresno, California.

Officials said the driver was holding a beer can when he got out of the van and ran away before officers arrived.

However, police said they arrested the suspect, 45-year-old Rolando Enrique Alvarenga-Aguilar, at a home shortly afterward. He was drunk at the time of the crash, authorities claimed.

Investigators said a 60-year-old man was hit in the crash and taken to a local hospital, where he was listed as “critical but stable,” Your Central Valley reported. The victim died on Oct. 18.

After the victims death, police said Alvarenga-Aguilar was charged with murder, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, driving with a blood alcohol concentration in excess of .08 causing great bodily injury, hit-and-run following an injury collision and several other charges.

In addition, he is facing charges for another case from 2019, officials said.

Alvarenga-Aguilar was booked into jail and his bail was set at $1.6 million, police said.
