An Audrain County man who was charged earlier this month in a fatal crash has been arrested, according to a press release from the Mexico Department of Public Safety.
Joshua Frye, 22, of Mexico, Missouri, was charged with driving while intoxicated while causing two or more deaths and misdemeanor reckless driving. Police wrote in the release that he was arrested Tuesday afternoon in the 1300 block of Paris Road in Mexico after he was released from University Hospital.
The release says that first responders were called to a crash at 6:39 a.m. June 12 in the 4800 block of South Clark Street. Two people — Kristain Pritchett, 22, and Austin Terry, 27 – died in the crash, according to previous reporting.
Court documents in previous reporting indicate that both people were in the car with Frye. Court documents allege that Frye drove a Kia Soul southbound on Clark Street when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a Chrysler in the northbound lane.
A confined docket hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday at the Audrain County Courthouse.
