The process is continued for drivers at the fatal Tusky Valley crash, in which six people were killed

The trial against Jacob McDonald, the semi-drinker who is accused of causing a fatal crash reaction accident on the I-70, is to be continued on Thursday.

The semi-sip collided with a van and a charter bus with the Tusky Valley Marching Band. There were three students, two companions and one teacher among the victims.

• John (Wyatt) Mosley, 18
• Jeffery (JD) Worrell, 18
• Katelyn Owens, 15
• Shannon Wigfield, 45
• Kristy Gaynor, 39
• Dave Kennat, 56

The prosecutors claim that on November 14, 2023, McDonald could not slow down hisade damage on Interstate 70 near Etna, which led to a collision with a car and triggers a catastrophic chain reaction. A charter bus with members of the Tuscarawas Valley High School Marching Band caught fire. Six people were killed in the crash, including three band members, two parents chaperone and one teacher.

The prosecutors showed that the camera-supported camera von by state troops questioned the semi-draft in a fatal crash, in which six were killed when his trial began on Monday in a courtroom of the County County.

McDonald is exposed to 26 fees in connection with the incident.

During the court proceedings on Tuesday, a Sergeant in Ohio Highway Patrol said that McDonald did not slow down his Semi from impact. The public prosecutor claims that McDonald was distracted from his phone at the time of the crash.

McDonald sat in court when prosecutors played a video of him in which he answered questions in the hospital. He repeatedly said that he could not remember the moments that led to the crash.

“The first thing I remember, the only thing I remember, is the fire in front of my truck,” said McDonald in the video.

In a report on the federal fall examinations, an increase in data use on McDonald's phone, similar to a video, showed about 10 minutes before the incident. However, McDonald's defender questioned the data and argued that it did not show what the data was used for.

“Att does not tell you what user activity is. You only tell you data volume. The meeting interface. You cannot tell you what it was,” said defender Chris Brigdon.

At the beginning there was another accident that Brigdon argued that he had taken into account the crash.

“Jacob McDonald was appropriate in Freightiner, as every other truck driver would be on the street today.”

McDonald, in the video in the hospital, could be heard as he told the Troopers that he had nothing to hide.

“You don't remember how quickly you went or if you were distracted by anything?” Asked a soldier.

“Probably, no, no. The last time I remember that I made almost 70,” he replied.

The study was delayed by its originally planned start date in February to this week. It is a bank procedure, which means that only one judge – and no jury – hears the case.

McDonald, whose charges belong to six cases of heavy vehicle murder, has custody since his arrest of $ 1 million.
