Mom faces charges stemming from deadly 2016 crash

METHUEN, Mass. — A Methuen mother has been charged with motor vehicle homicide after an investigation into a July 2016 crash that killed her six-year-old son.

Flor de Paz was driving on Berkeley Street last year when she collided with a van.

Her son, Brian Pellegrino, was thrown from the car and was run over by another vehicle.

According to the Eagle Tribune, an investigation found the boy wasn’t in a booster seat and had not been using a seat belt at the time of the crash.

De Paz is due back in court next month.
