PHILADELPHIA - A man was arrested in Philadelphia for a crash that claimed the life of a young woman and her unborn baby in Montgomery County last month.
U.S. Marshals say Jabrial Terry, 27, was taken into custody on the 7300 block of Sommers Road on Tuesday, nearly a month after a criminal complaint was filed.
He was wanted in connection to the May 4 crash that killed 24-year-old Nya Janae Stokes, who was nine months pregnant at the time.
Her baby, who officials say was delivered alive after the crash, died five days later.
