HOUSTON – Charges against a man who had been accused of causing a fatal crash on the North Freeway in March have been dismissed.

Deadrian Aundre Baker, 33, had been charged with murder and two counts of intoxicated assault for the March 12 crash, but now, according to court documents, the charges against Baker have been dismissed due to “Incomplete Lab Results/No Lab Report.”

Previous court documents alleged Baker was driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, a narcotic, and cannabis before a single-vehicle crash in the 7900 block of the North Freeway near Little York Road.

According to HPD, Baker was driving a Honda Crosstour southbound on the North Freeway main lanes and lost control, causing the vehicle to hit the center median and flip several times.

Two child siblings were ejected from the vehicle and a 29-year-old man sustained significant injuries, investigators said. All three were transported to the hospital, where the 1-year-old was pronounced dead.
