Austin 17-car crash

A 37-year-old man has been arrested in connection to Thursday's multi-vehicle crash in Austin, Texas, that left five people dead −including children − and several hospitalized.

Solomun Weldekeal Araya has been arrested and charged with five counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault, a spokesperson for the Austin Police Department told USA TODAY on Friday afternoon.

He is currently held at Travis County Jail. The fatal incident, which also involved a semi-truck, occurred on Interstate 35 in North Austin, and authorities responded to the scene just before 11:30 p.m.

They discovered "multiple patients pinned in their vehicles," Captain Christa Stedman of Austin Travis County EMS said at a press conference.
