Carlos Rodolfo Prieto, 24, was charged in 3rd District Court with three counts of automobile homicide, all third-degree felonies; three counts of driving under the influence, two of which are third-degree felonies and one a misdemeanor; and a misdemeanor charge of never obtaining a license.

He is accused of running a red light at the intersection of 700 East and 5400 South early Sunday morning, smashing into a car carrying six members of the Ceran family who were on their way back to their Cedar Hills home following a Christmas party at the Hale Centre Theatre.
Cheryl Ceran and her 15-year-old son, Ian, and 7-year-old daughter, Julianna, were killed. Her husband, Gary Ceran, and two other children, 19-year-old Clarissa and 12-year Caleb, were injured.
Clarissa, the last family member in the hospital, was released Wednesday afternoon to continue her recovery and physical therapy at home.
