SHELTON — Police said a second person was arrested in connection to a crash that killed a teen and a pregnant mother.
On Friday, Shelton police said Lawrence Carter, 19, of Bridgeport turned himself in following an arrest warrant.
Carter was charged with two counts of manslaughter in the first degree, two counts of negligent homicide with a motor vehicle, four counts of assault in the first degree, and illegal racing on a highway.

Police said Abdulaziz Yuldoshev, 19, of Hamden, was racing near River Road when he caused a crash that killed two people, including a pregnant woman, and injured five others.
