SEDGWICK COUNTY—A Kansas man accused in a fatal Thanksgiving crash is due in court Monday for a preliminary hearing, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
Garett Meyers, 37, of Andover is charged with involuntary manslaughter, aggravated battery, and driving while license is suspended or cancelled.
Just after 8p.m. on Thanksgiving, police responded to report of an accident at 13th and Hillside in Wichita, according to Officer Trevor Macy.
Investigators determined a truck driven by Myers struck an SUV driven by 65-year-old Leroy Grim, of Wichita, who was stopped westbound at the intersection. Grim was pronounced dead at the scene. EMS transported a 67-year-old woman in the SUV to an area hospital.
Police arrested Myers. He remains in custody on $250,000 bond, according to the district attorney's office.
