PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — A Boston man charged with being under the influence when he allegedly struck and killed an off-duty nurse who had stopped to help someone at the scene of a car rollover in Rhode Island has been held on $45,000 bail.
Luis Baez appeared in court Monday to face several charges in connection with the crash on Interstate 95 in Pawtucket early Sunday morning that took the life of 34-year-old Jennifer Toscano, of Stoughton, Massachusetts.
Police allege the 22-year-old Baez left the scene after striking Toscano.
Baez did not enter a plea to felony charges including driving under the influence resulting in death. He was referred to the public defender’s office.
