(Previous report) 1 dead in Buckeye crash

BUCKEYE, Ariz. - Charges of 2nd-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon were brought against an 18-year-old man months following a deadly crash in Buckeye.

The deadly crash happened near Verrado Way and Sunrise Lane on June 20, the police department said.

"A Buckeye police investigation found 18-year-old Nathan Chaidez topped speeds at more than a hundred miles an hour shortly before losing control of his car and crashing into a tree …," Buckeye PD said on Oct. 17.

He was indicted on the two charges by a grand jury and police say he turned himself in. He was booked into jail.

Police say the crash left a teen passenger dead and another seriously hurt.

No further information is available.
