BATON ROUGE - Police arrested a man Wednesday who is allegedly responsible for a fatal car crash that happened in July. 

According to arrest paperwork, 22-year-old Kerriel Joseph was driving a Hyundai Elantra that had a bumper zip-tied on to the front of their car. On July 13, Joseph was driving along I-12 westbound around 11:30 p.m. when the bumper fell off and they pulled off to the shoulder to reattach the part. 

Police said 21-year-old Dedrick Smith was driving on the Interstate and going 30 mph over the speed limit on the wet road when his Chevrolet Silverado slammed into the back of the Elantra, killing Joseph. 

Troopers said they found a burned marijuana cigarette in the car and Smith tested positive for marijuana after the crash. 

Smith was booked for negligent homicide, speeding, possession schedule I drugs, driving too fast in the rain and no seat belt.
