The man, identified as 23-year-old Oscar Aguiluz, allegedly dragged a passenger's body out of his car following a crash in March 2023 that happened in Tempe
Court documents state a West Valley man has been arrested in connection with a death, after police found out he was allegedly preparing to flee the country.
Aguiluz, according to investigators, was headed south on Priest Drive in Tempe during the early morning hours of Mar. 5 with a passenger when Aguiluz failed to negotiate a left curve on the roadway, and drove off to the right hand side of the roadway. "Aguiluz continued driving south through a landscaped area between the roundabout and the parking lot of 7404 S. Priest Drive. Aguiluz drove in the landscaping for approximate ly 340 feet before colliding head on with a palm tree at approximately 53 mph," read a portion of the documents. "The vehicle then rotated about the tree, coming to rest after the left rear of the vehicle struck a steel bus stop cover.
Aguiluz, according to officials, had a breath alcohol level of 0.144 when he took a preliminary breath test. Neither Aguiluz or the passenger were wearing their seat belts at the time of the incident. When Aguiluz was taken to the hospital, it was discovered that he suffered a fractured cervical vertebra that required surgery.
