The impact of the crash caused Saldana’s SUV to crash into another vehicle that caused that vehicle to hit a metal post. That crash injured an unidentified 65-year-old male driver.
Her 2-year-old son who was in the vehicle with her was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Police say the child is still in the hospital and is expected to make a full physical recovery.
Binderim was arrested on four warrants relating to the crash after he was released from the hospital.
He faces multiple charges including manslaughter, injury to a child, injury to an elderly and assault.
