Officials Identify Erlinda Domingo, Arrest Juan Martinez in Fatal DUI Crash in Fremont

 
FREMONT, CA (March 20, 2019) – A woman was killed in a suspected DUI-related crash in Fremont Sunday evening. The collision happened at around 6:15 p.m. on Central Avenue just east of Blacow Road.
 
According to a release from the police, the crash involved a minivan and a Honda Civic. The driver of the Honda, 70-year-old Erlinda Domingo of Newark, was pronounced dead at the scene.
 
The driver of the minivan, 47-year-old Juan Martinez of Newark, fled on foot but was located by officers in a nearby neighborhood and taken into custody. Martinez is being held at the Fremont Jail in lieu of $95,000 bail, with charges filed on Tuesday.
 
Court records indicate that Martinez pleaded no contest on April 27, 2017, to a misdemeanor drunk driving charge and was placed on a five-year probation. In exchange for his plea, Alameda County prosecutors dismissed four other misdemeanor counts that it had filed against him: hit-and-run, resisting a peace officer, and driving on a suspended license.
 
Central Avenue was closed in both directions for several hours as police conducted their investigation and gathered evidence.
