A Providence man has been charged in connection with a head-on crash that critically wounded another man earlier this year.

 

Anthony Flores, 26, has been charged with operating under the influence causing serious bodily injury, reckless operation of a motor vehicle and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

 

Investigators believe Flores crossed over the center line at a high rate of speed and slammed into another car near the Stop & Shop Distribution Center in Freetown back in April.

 

The other driver, identified by police as a 68-year-old man, was rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital with life-threatening injuries, including several fractures and internal trauma. He is expected to survive, however, police said he faces a long road to recovery.

 

Flores was also injured and brought to the hospital for treatment, according to police. His next court appearance is scheduled for November.
