A young Georgia man is behind bars in Macon County, charged in a 2016 horrific DUI crash that left five people dead.

Luis Angel Duque, 23, was arrested by U.S Marshals in Virginia and then extradited to Alabama, said Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson. Deputies, he said, quickly went to where Duque was being held in the Rockingham County Jail in Harrisonburg to retrieve him.

"I thought that was very important,'' Brunson said. "These families need closure, and they need justice."

The crash happened March 19, 2016 and Duque was only person out of six people in two vehicles to survive. It was about 7 p.m. that Saturday when Duque's Ford Edge collided with a 2002 Mazda Tribute on U.S. 80 near Macon County 24. The collision caused the Ford to catch fire and the Mazda to leave the roadway and overturn.

All five of the fatality victims were pronounced dead on the scene.

Among those killed were two of Duque's passengers - Luciano Tovar, 25, and Jorge Banda, 29, both of Georgia. Duque was hospitalized for his injuries.

All three people in the Mazda died: driver Curtis Jay McCurdy, 31, of Opelika; and passengers Kyla Yarbrough, 26, and Michele Smith, 36, both of Tuskegee.

A Macon County grand jury on Sept. 13, 2017, issued a five-count indictment charging him with manslaughter, which is a felony. That indictment, made public this week following his Dec. 28 arrest in Virginia, said he was driving under the influence of alcohol when the deadly crash happened.

A court date has not yet been set for Duque.
