The man that police say was drunk driving when he ran a red light and hit a car, killing Major League Baseball pitcher Nick Adenhart of the Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim and two others, has been charged with murder.

According to the Orange County district attorney's office, Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, has been charged with three counts of murder, driving under the influence, and leaving the scene of a crime.

According to the district attorney's office, Gallo was driving a minivan at 65mph in a 35mph zone around 12:35am Thursday in Fullerton, CA. He was on probation and his license had been suspended after a previous DUI charge. Police say he ran a red light and hit the car that Adenhart was in, killing the pitcher, 20-year-old California State University student Courtney Stewart and law student Henry Pearson, 25.

A fourth victim, 24-year-old John Wilhite, a former California State baseball player, remained in critical condition Friday. A driver in a third car which was struck suffered only minor injuries.

Gallo fled the scene, and was captured by police about 30 minutes later.

Adenhart died at the UC Irvine Medical center after undergoing surgery.

According to police, Gallo's blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit. If convicted on all charges, he faces up to life in prison.

Adenhart was just beginning his first full season in the major leagues, and had pitched his fourth MLB game just hours earlier. On Thursday, the Angels' game against the Oakland A's was postponted.

Angels' team manager Tony Reagins said:

"The Angels family has suffered a tremendous loss today. We are deeply saddened and shocked by this tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nick's family, friends, loved ones and fans."
