Opening statements were heard on Tuesday afternoon in the manslaughter trial of a Sweet Home man accused of killing a mother and her daughter in an alleged drunk driving crash last year near Crawfordsville.
Brian McIntire, 30, is charged with two counts of first-degree manslaughter, two counts of fourth-degree assault for injuries suffered by survivors of the wreck, and driving under the influence of intoxicants.
Stormy Barge, 24, of Sweet Home and her 5-year-old daughter, Emma Pulido, were killed in the July 23, 2019, crash. Bargeâs daughter Macy Pulido, then 3, and Bargeâs boyfriend, Ty Kirkland, were injured.
Defense attorney Tyler Reid told the 12-member jury that McIntireâs Jeep, headed north on Brush Creek Road, had swerved into the southbound lane that night. âHe corrected, and when he corrected, there was a vehicle in his lane,â Reid said.
