NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A driver who allegedly fled the scene of a fatal multi-vehicle crash in the Bronx has been arrested.

The crash happened Thursday night at Boston Road and Wallace Avenue in the Allerton section.

Police said a Toyota Camry heading south on Boston Road swerved into the northbound lane, striking a Chrysler Town and Country minivan.

Both vehicles then smashed into an empty parked sport-utility vehicle, that ended up being knocked up onto a bench.

A 21-year-old man, identified as Christopher Hulse of the Bronx, was killed and four other people were injured.

The driver of the Toyota fled the scene, but police later tracked him down at Jacobi Medical Center, where he was receiving treatment for minor injuries, according to the NYPD.

Police said 21-year-old Tanbir Islam is charged with manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving while intoxicated.
