A 26-year-old man from Kissimmee, identified as Matthew Pasciucco, lost his life in a serious accident today. The accident happened early this morning around 2:35 a,m. when Pasciucco’s vehicle was rear-ended at a traffic light.
Pasciucco was stopped at the light at the time when suddenly, 22-year-old Yamil Salazar Rodriguez crashed into him at a high rate of speed. Pasciucco’s vehicle then struck two other cars. The car caught on fire.
Bystanders were able to pull Pasciucco from his vehicle, but he died at the scene. Nobody else sustained injuries in the accident.
Rodriguez fled the scene on foot but he was later found by police at a hotel. He was taken to the hospital to see if there were any signs of impairment and was later charged with DUI manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal crash.
