"Frederic was accused of turning against a sign on the 5600 block of Los Positas Road, resulting in his truck becoming stuck at about 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 22, 2020. He allegedly exited the truck to warn a nearby business owner of his predicament, and shortly thereafter the Mercedes slammed into the Kenworth. All three teens died from blunt force trauma."
"But last September, in a plea deal, Alameda County prosecutors allowed Frederic, an Orlando resident, to plead no contest to a lesser offense of obstructing a public roadway, a misdemeanor count more typically associated with the prosecution of aggressive panhandlers. Frederic's criminal record can be wiped clean if he avoids arrests and complete's the driving safety course, court records show. Frederic's grace period expires in March 2026."
Ivenet Frederic, 35, faced three felony manslaughter counts after a December 22, 2020 crash that killed Rahal Brar, 18, Shej Kumar, 16, and Ian Ericksen, 16. Prosecutors said Frederic turned against a sign, got his Kenworth truck stuck on Las Positas Road, and left it blocking the roadway before exiting to warn a business owner; the Mercedes driven by Brar subsequently collided with the truck. A judge reduced charges to misdemeanors in 2022 for insufficient evidence of a felony. In a plea deal, Frederic pleaded no contest to obstructing a public roadway, must complete a driving safety course, avoid arrests through March 2026 to expunge the charge, and faces up to 180 days in jail if he violates the agreement.
