Castillo has been transported to a hospital outside of our area with life-threatening injuries. At the time of this release, he remains in critical condition. Domingo was booked on charges of leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, no driver's license, and too fast for conditions.

He is being held on a $50,000 cash bond per the Sebastian County Prosecutor’s Office.
