State police have filed manslaughter charges against the driver of a car that crashed on I-490 near Culver Road last Friday.
Troopers say the preliminary investigation shows that the Chrysler sedan, being driven by 25-year-old Christopher Long Jr. of Rochester, was traveling east on I-490 when it left the highway, struck a barrier, overturned multiple times and struck a utility pole before coming to rest near the Culver Road exit ramp.
One female passenger, 18-year-old Skylar Swift of Rochester was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other female passengers were taken to the hospital, where 23-year-old Aleci Lopez of Rochester died from her injuries. The other passenger, 19-year-old Alexandrea Rodriguez was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Long was treated at the hospital for minor injuries and charged with two counts of Manslaughter in the 2nd degree (which is a felony) and taken to county jail for arraignment.
Police say this is an ongoing investigation.
