A 26-year-old Salt Lake City man was charged Wednesday with homicide for allegedly driving drunk in May and ramming his car into several vehicles at a Taylorsville intersection, killing emergency medical technician Jonathan Bowers.

Gabriel Perez-Guiterez told witnesses directly after the May 22 crash that "I f——- up," court documents filed in 3rd District Court stated.

The crash occurred about 6 a.m. near 4015 West and 6200 South.

Perez-Guiterez was driving about 75 mph in a 40-mph zone with a blood alcohol content of .11 when he sideswiped an eastbound car near the intersection and then rear-ended Bowers' personal vehicle, court documents state. Bowers' car then struck the car of a woman in front of him and another car with a man in it.

Perez-Guiterez's Subaru didn't stop until after he went through the intersection and hit a pole, court documents state. After making his statement to witnesses, he got out of his car and ran south on 4015 West. Police arrived and found him hiding in a window well nearby.

Bowers, a West Jordan medic with Gold Cross Ambulance, was taken to Intermountain Medical Center in critical condition. He clung to life for eight days before he died.

Drivers of the other cars were treated for minor injuries.

In addition to alcohol, Perez-Guiterez had traces of marijuana in his system.

He is charged with second-degree felony criminal homicide, third-degree felony leaving the scene of an accident, two class A misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence, a misdemeanor charge of driving with a measurable amount of marijuana in his system, driving on a suspended license and speeding.

Bowers had been with Gold Cross for six years. Before he died, he was finishing his bachelor's degree in emergency medical management, said his supervisor, Nick Kremer.
