Trucker was under influence of marijuana in fatal Toll Road crash, officials say
SOUTH BEND — A “horrific” crash in June when a semitrailer plowed into a line of slowing and stopped cars on the Indiana Toll Road has now resulted in criminal charges against the driver of the truck.
New York native Chasen Thompson, 27, is charged with seven felonies of causing death or serious injury while under the influence of marijuana in connection to the crash, which killed 45-year-old Eric Klein and 82-year-old Jacqueline Luczak.
