Police say Johnson has already been charged with DWI. He is currently in the hospital. Once he gets out, officers say they will serve him with warrants for additional charges including Driving While License Revoked, Reckless Driving and Involuntary Manslaughter
Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Major Crash Investigations Unit at 704-336-8862.
