Derby Man Charged In Fatal DUI Crash Faces 12 Years In Prison: Report

DERBY, CT — A Derby man charged in a crash that killed two passengers faces up to 12 years in prison after taking a plea deal Monday, the Connecticut Post reports. Should a judge later deem the offer not appropriate, the accused will be allowed to withdraw the pleas and the matter will proceed toward trial.

According to the Connecticut Post, Rakiem Reid, 32, is accused of striking another vehicle while driving in Shelton in 2020. Two passengers were killed in the crash while a third was paralyzed, and police later calculated Reid's blood alcohol level to be over the legal limit the night of the crash.
