Crash severely injured passenger on Brady Street, Davenport, police allege
A 20-year-old Muscatine man was released on bond after police allege a crash injured a victim Monday afternoon.
Angel Anguiano faces a felony charge of serious injury by vehicle, court records show.
Shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday, Davenport Police were dispatched to the intersection of Brady Street and East 6th Street for an injury accident, according to an arrest affidavit.
Police allege Anguiano was driving a white 2013 Infiniti recklessly while traveling north on Brady Street when he hit another car and also struck a building, police allege.
Officers conducted a consent search of the vehicle for the airbag-control module, which indicates Anguiano was traveling at 77 mph about two seconds before the impact, police allege in affidavits.
The module also indicated Anguiano was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. The speed limit in the area of the crash is 35 mph, affidavits show. “The area of the crash is a heavily traveled location with vehicles and pedestrians,” affidavits say.
According to affidavits, two witnesses saw the “driving behavior.”
A passenger in the car, affidavits show, had several broken ribs, needed staples for a laceration on the right side of her head and had a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) – that is, bleeding in the space between the brain and the surrounding membrane – that required immediate treatment. “The victim received serious injuries as a result of the defendant’s reckless driving which caused the crash,” police allege in affidavits.
Anguiano is scheduled to appear Thursday in Scott County Court.
