LEBANON -- A man with three DUI arrests since 1995 has been indicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter for a July 11 wreck that killed one man and injured another.
Robert Baker, 30, of Clarksville in Clinton County was also indicted Friday by a Warren County grand jury on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide, felony driving-under-the-influence and aggravated vehicular assault.
Warren County Prosecutor Tim Oliver announced the indictments Monday.
According to Mr. Oliver, Mr. Baker was driving a pickup around a curve on Clarksville Road in Washington Township at 12:34 p.m. when the truck careened down a steep embankment and hit a tree.
Paul Cundiff, 25, of New Vienna, who was sitting in the cab of the truck closest to the passenger-side window, was pronounced dead at the scene. Robert Mountjoy, 33, of Hillsboro, who was sitting between Mr. Baker and Mr. Cundiff, suffered serious injuries. Mr. Baker, who is being held in the Warren County Jail, was not seriously injured, Mr. Oliver said.
The speed limit on Clarksville Road is 55 mph, and Mr. Baker was driving 71 mph when he veered off the road, police said. He allegedly was under the influence of Darvocet, a prescription pain-killer, Mr. Oliver said.
Although Mr. Baker can be convicted of both aggravated vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter, he can be sentenced for only one of the charges, Mr. Oliver said.
