BAYTOWN, Texas – Raul Aaron Tadeo, 23, was charged with intoxication manslaughter with a vehicle after a deadly crash in Baytown, according to court documents.

Saturday, around 2 a.m., a Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet pickup truck collided at the intersection of Garth Road and Decker Drive, police said.
