A 23-year-old Hartford man who was charged with negligent homicide in connection with a crash in East Hartford in April that killed an 8-year-old boy appeared in court on Wednesday and his case has been moved.
Police said two cars crashed near 285 Burnside Avenue in East Hartford at 5:55 p.m. on Thursday, April 16 and 8-year-old Carlos Hernandez was struck by a car. He later died at Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
In May, police arrested Joel Oviedo-Garcia, 23, of Hartford, in connection with the two-car crash and charged him with negligent homicide and traveling too fast for conditions.
Another driver involved in the two-car crash, Hawa Pabai, was charged with evading responsibility in connection to the crash, police said.
Pabai pleaded not guilty and is due back in court on July 27.
