Cleveland man who allegedly drove through red light, causing deadly accident held on $250K bond
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The 27-year-old Cleveland man charged for allegedly causing a deadly car accident this month will face a judge Saturday morning.
Gerrod White is charged with aggravated vehicular homicide and aggravated vehicular assault.
At his arraignment Saturday morning in Cleveland Municipal Court, White’s bond was set at $250,000.
White was also arraigned for a domestic charge, and his bond was set at $50,000.
“He has an extensive history of violence… He not only punched his girlfriend in that incident, he stomped her as well. In regards to the aggravated vehicular homicide and assault, he indicated to officers that he wasn’t going to jail because he ‘always gets off’ and he repeated that multiple times after striking the vehicle head-on resulting in the death of the passenger where she was engulfed in flames and died in the vehicle and the driver was ejected,” the prosecutor said as White shook his head in court on video.
White can also be seen wearing a neck brace while on the video call.
White will be back in court on Aug. 6.
Cleveland police said White was speeding eastbound on St. Clair Avenue when he ran a red light at East 110th Street around 5:30 a.m. on July 21.
White’s vehicle crashed into a Ford Explorer, which was traveling on East 110th Street and had the green light.
The impact caused the Explorer to roll over and catch fire.
The driver, Krystal Mathis-Aaron, was ejected and seriously injured, according to the police report.
Mathis-Aaron’s front-seat passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. She was identified as Lakeitha Simmons, 50.
Minutes before the deadly crash, White also allegedly passed an ambulance that had its lights and sirens activated.

Arby’s employees ‘confused’ after store closes without warning
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Workers are put up against the clock as their jobs hang in the balance.
Daundre Frazier told 19 News his work family was torn apart when the Arby’s on Chester Avenue and East 22nd Street in Cleveland was shut down without warning.
“It was Monday morning when we all found out, “ said Frazier. “It’s like we’re scheduled to work we got bills and stuff to pay and it was just a whole bunch of commotion.”
Frazier says when he came into work last Monday his other coworkers were cleaning out the store–saying they didn’t find out about the move until they came in for their shift.
Cashayliana Jones says she was supposed to be starting this week.
“I was really confused like did anyone know about this or did it come out of the blue,” said Jones.
Frazier says even though they didn’t hear about the closure until the 10th they received this letter that was written on the 6th about the closure.
Stating if they stayed and helped clean up the store they could transfer to other Arby’s locations.
But Frazier says that wont work for a lot of his team.
“Everybody who works here lives within 10 minutes, “ said Frazier. “Ubering, Lyfting, and catching the bus are gonna cost more money than they bring in for working.”
Putting people in a bind right before the holidays.
“They didn’t let us know because they didn’t think we would come in and do the cleaning duties they needed us to do, but they never gave us that option,” said Frazier.
“We could have been looking for another job,” said Frazier. That would have been the courtesy for them.”
Our team reached out to Arby’s with these concerns twice, but hasn’t heard back.
“Everybody who works here is like a family, we all treat each other like brothers and sisters,“ said Frazier. “When that happened we were all just like shocked.”
