A jury has found a Madison man guilty on multiple charges for his involvement in a crash that killed four people in February 2012.
Victor Benitez, 19, was charged with 17 counts in connection with a crash in the city of Fitchburg. Twelve of the charges are felonies and include homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle; vehicular homicide by use of a controlled substance; and failure to render aid, resulting in death.
A jury found Benitez guilty on multiple charges and not guilty on other charges.
Fitchburg police said Benitez was behind the wheel of the vehicle that went airborne near Lacy Road and hit a utility pole on Feb. 18. Police said Benitez was drunk, high on drugs and fled from the scene after the crash. He was found by firefighters a short time later.
Three people died at the crash scene, and another passenger died at a hospital.
