Charges may be upgraded in fatal crash on Katy freeway Authorities investigating a fatal wreck on the Katy Freeway Saturday may upgrade charges against a driver, depending on his toxicology results. If tests show that he was driving while impaired, charges could be upgraded because of the fatality. Police are investigating whether the man in the Cadillac was racing a gray Toyota, Smith said. Investigators arrested the driver of the Cadillac and charged him with possession of marijuana after searching his car. The Nissan flipped and crashed into the freeway wall killing a 65-year-old woman, who was a passenger in the car, said Kese Smith, an HPD spokesman.

He was possibly racing the driver of a gray Toyota Camry when he lost control of the Cadillac and struck a gray Nissan Versa. Aybar was found with marijuana in his possession and subsequently arrested and charged with endangering a child and possession of a controlled substance. The Nissan then overturned and crashed into a freeway retaining wall, killing a 65-year-old woman riding in the front seat. The Cadillac then also struck a gray Honda Accord.The driver of the Nissan was transported by Lifeflight helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital in stable condition. A three-year-old passenger in the Cadillac was not hurt.Suspect Aybar and the driver of the Toyota were detained at the scene and exhibited no obvious signs of impairment.

He's charged for now with possession of a controlled substance and endangering the young child riding in the car with him. "We found out later after I posted the video."Court records reveal one of the suspected drivers is 30-year-old Gustavo Aybar. But there is enough recorded that both prosecutors and Houston police have copies and are using it in their investigations."We were not aware that it was a fatal accident," said Cassis. It happened in an instant. During his probable cause hearing, prosecutors said Aybar was driving faster than 100 miles per hour when his car struck two vehicles, flipping one of them.Aybar is in jail on no bond awaiting his first appearance in criminal court.

Prosecutors: Charges in fatal wreck could be upgraded to manslaughter A 30-year-old Houston man who could face manslaughter charges in a fatal wreck on the Katy Freeway will remain in jail without bail, a judge ruled Tuesday. Baimbridge said charges could be upgraded to manslaughter, a second degree felony, after an accident reconstructionist determines how fast he was going. Police found marijuana in the center console of the Cadillac and arrested Aybar. Investigators said Aybar was driving westbound in a white Cadillac CTS, and is suspected of racing a gray Toyota Camry. The driver of the Toyota could also face charges in the death, Baimbridge said.

That is, however, unclear.As helpful as this video is to prosecutors, they are looking for more help is making their case against Gustavo Aybar. He now sits in jail on no bond."More witnesses is always better," said Bainbridge. Even if you don't think something's important, please contact the police department."
