A Lakeville man was arraigned on charges he was impaired and behind the wheel when he caused a four-car crash that killed a man and left several others injured, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz has announced.

73-year-old David DeLorenzo of Lakeville was arraigned Monday in Wareham District Court on one count each of Motor Vehicle Homicide, Operating Under the Influence of Liquor, Operating Under the Influence of Liquor Causing Serious Bodily Injury, Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Speeding, and a Marked Lanes Violation.

DeLorenzo pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The Commonwealth requested that he be held on $10,000 cash bail with the conditions that DeLorenzo wear a GPS Monitoring bracelet, abide to a curfew, remain alcohol-free with testing three times per day, and not to drive during the pendency of the case. Judge Edward Sharkansky ordered DeLorenzo held on $1,000 bail with the conditions.
