(KNOX) – A 19-year-old Grand Forks man who has been charged in Cass County for his role in a deadly car crash has settled all of his open cases in Grand Forks County. Cornelio Vasquez IV will serve 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to several charges. Those charges include felony reckless endangerment and driving under suspension, as well as violating a civil protection order, illegally using a driver’s license and having alcohol when under 21-years-old, and for hindering law enforcement.

After serving the 30 days, he will be sent to Cass County. Investigators are seeking Vasquez’s phone, a camera in his BMW and a passenger’s Snapchat account. They are seeing these items from an incident where Vasquez t-boned another car in Cass County, and the crash led to the death of a 49-year-old man.

Vasquez could face up to 20 years in prison in the Cass County case.
