The man suspected of causing a car accident on Easter Sunday, which killed a four-year-old boy, entered a plea of “not guilty” in a Fresno County Courtroom Thursday.

Steven Watson faces one count of gross vehicular manslaughter while drunk.

He also faces two separate counts of drunk driving and one count of leaving the scene of an accident.

The crash happened March 23 near Del Rey, when the vehicle Watson was driving slammed into the rear of a car trying to make a right turn.

Elias Pico, 4, died at the scene and five other members of his family were injured.
