METHUEN, MASS. (WHDH) – The grieving family of a man who was one of two people killed in a crash in Methuen on Saturday is now demanding justice after authorities announced another driver is facing criminal charges in connection with the incident.

“He was loved by everybody,” Luciana Milanez said of her husband, Kenny, who was on his way to work with three co-workers when she says they went backwards and were sent into a tree in the median.

“I still can’t believe that everything that’s happening is true,” she said through a translator. “I don’t have many words because nothing she says or does will bring them back… I just pray for justice.”

Officers who responded to the crash found occupants trapped in a badly damaged pickup truck. One occupant, a 37-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. Another occupant, a 41-year-old man, was pronounced dead at Lawrence General Hospital. Two other occupants suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Police have not released the names of those killed.

The other driver involved in the crash, 26-year-old Katrina Nguyen, turned herself in to the Lawrence Police Department after leaving the scene of the crash. She faces two counts of motor vehicle homicide by reckless operation, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, leaving the scene of an accident with bodily injury, leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and driving a motor vehicle with a suspended license.

She is expected to be arraigned Monday in Lawrence Superior Court.
