Argentine boxer Rodrigo Barrios was arrested on charges of manslaughter after he was involved in a fatal car accident, in which he fled. The accident left a pregnant woman dead and six others seriously injured.
"The offense is bailable, Barrios has no previous convictions”, said Barrios defense attorney Jose Vera.
Barrios was detained overnight in a police station north of Mar del Plata,
a small town about 248 miles south of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The boxer had surrendered to police Sunday night after being on the run.
Witnesses who saw the horrible accident said that Barrios truck collided with another vehicle after running a red light at an intersection in downtown Mar del Plata. The vehicle struck seven people crossing the street before he decided to reverse his truck and flee the scene.
