According to an announcement from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, a grand jury has indicted 27-year-old Alex Bashaw in reference to a fatal collision involving four pedestrians on March 13, 2018 in Fountain Hills.

A warrant for the arrest of Bashaw was issued on four counts of manslaughter with a $750,000 bond. As Bashaw moved to Ohio following the incident, he was arrested on a grand jury warrant and is awaiting extradition back to Maricopa County as of this writing.

Two couples were involved in the crash, with three dying either at the scene or shortly after. The fourth victim of the March 13 crash died from his injuries just last month.

Ron Doornbos of Calgary, Alberta, Canada passed away June 12. Doornbos and his wife, Patti Lou, both 60, were visiting Ron’s brother and wife in Fountain Hills and were walking on a sidewalk when they were struck by an SUV at the corner of Saguaro and Palisades Boulevard. The SUV was being driven by Bashaw.

The incident claimed the lives of Patti Lou and Karen Bonta, 71, at the scene. Karen’s husband, Robert, 72, died at the hospital. The two couples did not know each other.

Ron Doornbos suffered a traumatic head injury that required multiple surgeries. He remained in a medically induced coma and was transferred in late March to Calgary to be closer to his family.
