Man accused of intoxication manslaughter in crash that claimed 4-year-old's life.

In Austin, a 26-year-old man named Jonathan Dominguez was taken into custody following an incident in which he was suspected of driving under the influence during a crash that resulted in the death of a 4-year-old child and injuries to others. The arrest was made on the charge of intoxication manslaughter as stated in an affidavit. Court records indicated the arrest of Dominguez, though information about his legal representation was not obtainable at the time of the report. The accident reportedly occurred on June 8 in the 3300 block of South MoPac Expressway southbound early in the morning, as detailed by officers who responded to a single-vehicle crash involving an overturned SUV. Witnesses had reported a silver vehicle flipping over and coming to rest on its roof in a ditch near the highway. Initial findings by investigators revealed that Dominguez was driving the SUV with a passenger in the front seat, and four children in the back. The vehicle veered off the road, hitting a guardrail before plunging down an embankment onto its roof. Responding officers discovered the deceased child, Johan Dominguez, at the scene. Following the crash, Jonathan Dominguez was detected in an unconscious state and later taken to the hospital. Emergency medical personnel noted his uncooperative behavior and a strong scent of alcohol. Dominguez claimed he had been at a family gathering in south Austin after a day spent at the river before heading home, but investigations suggested inconsistencies in his account. Dominguez stated that he could not recall the crash sequence as he allegedly experienced a blackout. Authorities further disclosed that this incident marked Austin's 40th fatal crash in 2025. Additional information was not yet available.
