Suspect wanted in Providence fatal hit-and-run
PROVIDENCE -- The Providence police are looking for the driver of a car involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident last night at the corner of Eddy Street and New York Avenue.
Caba
The police say the suspect, Angelo Caba, 26, also known as Angelo Perez, 26, should be considered armed and dangerous.
The police had tried to stop Caba's vehicle earlier in the evening on suspicion of drug and firearms violations, but Caba fled at a high rate of speed and pursuing officers lost sight of his vehicle, which was traveling in excess of 60 mph, according to a police press release.
Sometime later -- the police press release didn't say how long -- the Caba vehicle collided with another vehicle at Eddy Street and New York Avenue. A passenger in the rear of the struck vehicle was ejected, and later died at Rhode Island Hospital, the police said. The victim's name has not been released, pending notification of family.
The other three people in that vehicle -- everyone in the vehicle was from Providence -- were taken to Hasbro and Rhode Island hospitals, treated and released.
The crash was reported at 8:44 p.m.
Caba fled and is being sought on an outstanding assault warrant, drug charges, and numerous traffic related charges, including driving to endanger, death resulting, and leaving the scene of an accident, death resulting, according to the police.
A passenger in his vehicle, Christopher Cuadrado, 28, is being held and is charged with possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, conspiracy and distribution of narcotics in proximity to a school zone.
Cuadrado was also injured in the accident.
Caba is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds. Anyone with information should contact the Providence police at 272-3121, ext. 6418.
