BROCKTON — A Brockton man accused of driving drunk, blowing through a red light, and killing two people in a crash so violent it engulfed a car in flames has been released on just $5,000 bail.

The Plymouth County DA asked for $100,000. The judge gave him a twentieth of that.

Mario Hernandez, 32, was charged Tuesday with two counts of motor vehicle homicide, operating under the influence of alcohol, reckless operation, and a red light violation, according to Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz’s office.

If he posts bail, Hernandez must not drive, remain alcohol-free, and undergo screenings four times a day. That’s the punishment, for now, for allegedly killing two people.

On November 14, around 1:30 a.m., Brockton police responded to the intersection of Centre and Quincy streets for a two-vehicle crash. They found a 2019 Infiniti Q50 engulfed in flames with occupants trapped inside and a white box truck flipped on its side.

Security footage from a nearby business shows the Infiniti traveling west on Centre Street, running the light, and slamming into the driver’s side of the truck heading north on Quincy Street. The impact overturned the truck and set the Infiniti on fire.

Hernandez was allegedly behind the wheel of the Infiniti.

Justin Pratt, 24, a passenger in the Infiniti, held on for just over a week before dying from his injuries. Shane Spillane, 26, another passenger, was pronounced dead at Boston Medical Center South in Brockton.

Two lives ended because someone allegedly got behind the wheel drunk at 1:30 in the morning and ran a red light.

Prosecutors asked for $100,000 bail and requested that bail in a separate, unrelated case be revoked. The judge set bail at $5,000.

Hernandez already had an open case when this crash happened. Two people are dead, a car was on fire, and the man accused of causing it walked out for less than the cost of a used car.

He’s scheduled to return to court on June 2.
