Driver in Fatal Airport Crash Faces New Psych Eval
16 Jan
Summary
- Accused driver will undergo a second psychological evaluation.
- Four men died in a crash near Dayton International Airport.
- Prosecutors requested their own expert to assess the driver's mental state.
The individual accused of causing a fatal crash near Dayton International Airport is set for a second psychological evaluation. The incident occurred on April 1, 2024, resulting in the deaths of four men and critical injuries to another occupant.
Prosecutors have requested an independent evaluation of the accused driver's mental state, a move that suggests a complex legal strategy surrounding his plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. This follows an initial plea entered by the defense.
The suspect is facing multiple charges, including aggravated vehicular homicide and OVI. His legal team is also seeking to suppress evidence, arguing statements made while hospitalized were involuntary. He is scheduled to appear in court again in March.
