A Longmont man has been arrested in connection with a fatal crash early Saturday morning.

Nestor Omar Arellano-Almazan, 30, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide – driving under the influence, drunken driving and failure to notify police of an accident. The victim in the case was identified in police and court documents as 39-year-old Joshua Larrin of Longmont.

The Weld County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the identity of the victim, but Longmont Public Safety spokesman Robin Ericson confirmed that Arellano-Almazan and Larrin were the two people involved in Saturday’s fatal crash .

Ericson said officers were dispatched to a crash east of East County Line Road at 12:46 a.m. Saturday. Police believe Larrin was driving a stolen motorcycle on Ken Pratt Boulevard when he was struck by Arellano-Almazan, who was turning his pickup onto Timm Way.

Larrin died at the scene and Arellano-Almazan was arrested and booked into the Weld County Jail. Police believe Arellano-Almazan was drunk at the time of the accident.

The motorcycle had been reported stolen in Longmont, Ericson said.
