Woman arrested in deadly Woonsocket crash, police say

WOONSOCKET, R.I. (WLNE) — Woonsocket police said they’ve arrested a woman in connection with a deadly Woonsocket crash earlier this month.

Police said 25-year-old Amber Guerin, of Woonsocket, was arraigned on Wednesday including driving so as to endanger resulting in death and driving so as to endanger resulting in injury, both of which are felony charges.

According to a report, witnesses told police they saw Guerin’s Nissan Altima run the stop sign at Harris Avenue and Blackstone Street going significantly over the speed limit and making no attempt to stop.

The crash took the life of 58-year-old Christina Perez of Burrillville.

In a report, police then said “Guerin crashed into Perez’s Ford Explorer, causing severe injuries to her and minor injuries to her passenger, a 20 year-old woman who has not been identified. Perez was taken to the hospital where she died from her injuries.

Guerin was sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Guerin is also facing three traffic charges in the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal, including a second offense charge for speeding at least 11 mph over the speed limit. For these charges, she faces a fine of $175, according to court records.

She’s expected in District Court Thursday, according to police.
