A Florida man who is charged with two counts of vehicular homicide in connection with a Frazier Avenue crash appeared in court Tuesday to set a fall trial date.

Randy Vega, 45, of Tampa, is also facing charges including reckless aggravated assault, vehicular assault with intoxication and driving under the influence.

The crash happened over Thanksgiving weekend 2023 in front of the Walnut Bridge Gift Shop.

It was believed to be the result of a road rage incident involving a local doctor, Patrick McGinty, but prosecutor Brian Finlay previously said in an interview there were no plans to charge McGinty.

Vega tried to cut over to the left from a right lane, a police report said, and hit the right front bumper of McGinty’s truck. Vega allegedly lost control of his minivan and hit three pedestrians.
