A man was wanted in a Fort Worth crash that left a woman dead and her unborn child arrested in El Paso

A man wanted in a car crash that killed a woman and another couple’s unborn child in September has been arrested, according to Fort Worth jail records.

Victor Medina-Ramirez, 28, was booked into the city jail Wednesday on a charge of collision resulting in death, a second-degree felony.

According to Fort Worth police, Medina-Ramirez was driving a vehicle early on the morning of Sept. 24 when he struck another vehicle on the Airport Freeway and North Sylvania Avenue. He left the scene on foot before officers arrived, police said.

The accident killed a passenger in the other vehicle, 30-year-old Meagan Roiter.

The driver, Abby Pearson, and her husband, who was in the back seat, were both hospitalized. Abby learned she had lost her unborn child in the intensive care unit, KDFW-TV reported.

According to the report, the family of one of the victims was told that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents arrested Medina-Ramirez on Tuesday evening in El Paso and extradited him to North Texas. He could face additional charges, the Pearsons’ attorney says.
