WOONSOCKET, RI—A 24-year-old Providence man who allegedly took the life of the mother of his child in a fatal car accident last December has been indicted on multiple charges by the Providence County Grand Jury.

Johnny Sak was arrested by Woonsocket police after the Mendon Road crash that killed Alexandra Patten Parenteau and hurt three other people on Dec. 8.
