Randy Ralstin is facing two counts of second-degree murder stemming from Monday's head-on crash that killed Tiffany Berry and 15-year-old Suavae Rouser in Kansas City. Berry's two other daughters had minor injuries.

Ralstin was the driver of the car involved in a fatal crash while fleeing police on Thanksgiving weekend in 1999. Police said Ralstin was traveling at least 80 miles per hour when he slammed into a vehicle carrying three men, including 20-year old Willie Hill, who was killed. The driver of that vehicle was in a coma for more than a week.

Ralstin was sentenced to 15 years in prison on an involuntary manslaughter conviction but was released about six months ago. Authorities say he was able to get a driver's license on the day he was freed.
