A 26-year-old Stafford man, William John Mallory, is being charged for driving under the influence after he rear ended a family car stopped at a red light. Mallory was returning from a Jimmy Buffet concert at Nissan Pavilion at approximately 12:45am when his 2004 Ford Explorer struck a 2007 Saturn Ion, forcing the Ion off the road and into a field where it collided with a boulder killing two of the passengers.
The driver of the Ion, Gloria Delgado, 43, was returning home from a family vacation in Tennessee with her two year old son, 60 year old mother, and 12 year old nephew. Delgado’s mother was properly restrained in the passenger seat, while her son was in a child seat in the back next to her nephew who was also wearing a seat belt.
Delgado was heading Eastbound on 234, at a red light on University Boulevard when the vehicle was rear ended. The collision killed her mother, Rebecca L. Sacra of Alexandria, and her son, Jonathan Wade-Ortiz. Her nephew was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Delgado was hospitalized with life threatening injuries.
Mallory is being held without bond until his November 6th court date. The investigation continues and more charges could be filed. Of the three passengers in his Explorer, one experienced minor injuries which were treated at the scene.
