A Brooklyn man has been arrested after a three-car crash left four people injured and one dead in Gowanus on Sunday.

According to police, 38-year-old Alexey Ivanov was driving his Honda minivan northbound on Second Avenue just before 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 14 when he crashed into a 2006 Mercedes station wagon that was headed west on 9th Street. The force of the impact caused the Mercedes to collide with a nearby Dodge pickup truck.

One of the cars went up in flames, according to News12, and video of the incident shows firefighters racing to free people trapped inside the crumpled vehicles. 

Ivanov and his two passengers — a 64-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman — were rushed to NewYork-Presbyterian/Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, as was the driver of the Mercedes, 34-year-old New Jersey resident Arturo Alberto Baez Cordero.

Cordero later died of his injuries, police said and the 38-year-0ld woman was in critical condition on Monday. Ivanov, the 64-year-old man, and the driver of the Dodge truck, a 49-year-old man who was brought to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, were all stable on Monday.

Hours after the crash, Ivanov was arrested on a litany of charges including manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, speeding, and disobeying a traffic control device.
