BUFFALO, N.Y. — On Tuesday, a Buffalo man pleaded guilty to charges for a high-speed crash on Genesee Street that killed a baby.
Gino Cesar pleaded guilty to one count of criminally negligent homicide and assault in the second degree.
Prosecutors say Cesar was driving at a high-rate of speed on westbound Genesee Street in December of last year when he drove through a red light at the intersection of Pine Ridge Road in the Town of Cheektowaga. This caused a collision with another vehicle.
The accident killed a 6-month-old child and broke the hip of a second passenger in the victim's car. The woman who broke a hip spent a week in the hospital.
The driver and passenger of the vehicle Cesar hit suffered minor injuries.
Cesar and the three passengers in his car also suffered minor injuries.
Cesar faces a maximum of seven years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 7 at 11 a.m.
