Gomez, since identified as the driver and sole occupant of the Toyota, was extricated from the wreck. The driver of the Hyundai was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene, per a criminal complaint.
“He apparently takes a car that was rented by someone that was staying at the hotel,” prosecuting attorney Sara Hill said. “He takes that car without that person’s consent and then proceeds to drive that vehicle in an incredibly reckless fashion.”
Once in custody, Gomez told police he worked as a valet at the hotel and took the Toyota that night. He also said he was drinking before the crash and was intoxicated behind the wheel.
Prosecutors say Gomez never had a valid Wisconsin driver’s license either.
“The allegations in this complaint are very serious,” court commissioner Barry Phillips said.
