AUBURN – A truck driver who caused a chain-reaction crash along a highway that killed a Michigan couple and another person will not face criminal charges in that crash, a prosecutor said.
Evidence showed that James Crager, 70, did not see a line of traffic that was slowing or stopped for construction along Interstate 69 “until it was too late” for the Angola man to prevent his semi from crashing into those vehicles on Sept. 16, DeKalb County Prosecutor ClaraMary Winebrenner said.
“Most other drivers did see this hazard, but inattentiveness alone is not a crime,” Winebrenner said in a statement Tuesday announcing Crager would not be charged, the (Auburn) Star reported.
