Make Page Six a Preferred Source Jack Sabáto, the son of “Sideways” actress Virginia Madsen and “General Hospital” star Antonio Sabáto Jr., was arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Anchorage, Alaska.
The 32-year-old was arrested and jailed at the Anchorage Correctional Complex on Monday following a road traffic incident earlier in the day that led to the death of a 42-year-old man.
He allegedly fled the scene before later contacting the cops to say he hit “something” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing,” according to the documents obtained by KTUU.
According to the Anchorage Police Department (APD), he has been remanded on charges of leaving the scene of an accident without assisting the injured and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury or death.
“At approximately 5:48 AM on November 9, 2026, officers assigned to patrol, along with medics from the Anchorage Fire Department, responded to the intersection of Airport Heights Dr and Debarr Rd in reference to an unresponsive adult male,” the APD said in the statement.
“Upon arrival, officers located an adult male identified as Carl Simmonds, 42, who was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
The statement noted that the “adult male pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle, which then fled the scene.”
Authorities are urging anyone who may have video footage of the area or further information about the crash to contact APD Dispatch, according to the department.

In reaction to the news, Antonio told TMZ on Tuesday, “We all just found out the terrible news and our family is digesting this horrible news and asking for privacy in this devastating news. Thank you.”
Jack was arraigned in court Tuesday at the Anchorage Jail Courtroom, where a judge set his bail at $5,000, per KTUU.
He also received a no-driving order and faces an additional $5,000 penalty if he fails to show up for future court dates.
Jack’s parents have both enjoyed success as actors, with Antonio enjoying memorable roles in shows such as “General Hospital” and “Melrose Place.”
Meanwhile, Madsen, 65, starred in films such as “Candyman” and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the 2004 comedy-drama “Sideways”.
Madsen and Antonio dated between 1993 and 1998, with the former couple welcoming their son in August 1994.
The news comes after Madsen mourned the death of her brother and fellow actor, Michael Madsen. Best known for his roles in “Kill Bill,” “Free Willy” and “Reservoir Dogs,” he died in July 2025 at age 67.
