Grand jury indicts man for crash in Coitsville that injured passenger in his truck
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) - A Mahoning County grand jury Thursday indicted a Youngstown man on charges he caused serious injuries to a passenger in his truck when it crashed in Coitsville. Chael Soto, 38, faces charges of aggravated vehicular assault, a third-degree felony; and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, a first-degree misdemeanor. Soto is accused of being the driver of a pickup truck on January 25. Around 3 a.m., the pickup truck was traveling south on State Route 616 before driving off the side of the road into a culvert and hitting a mailbox. An accident report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol said a 29-year-old female passenger was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center with serious injuries. The report said she had to be cut out of the truck by firefighters. Soto was also treated for injuries, the accident report said. The accident report did not say he was given a field sobriety test, or what the results of blood or urine tests may have been to determine his blood alcohol content.
