Teen Charged in Auto Wreck that Killed 3

NACOGDOCHES (AP) — An East Texas man has been charged in a deadly crash that killed three classmates at Stephen F. Austin State University in May. The Daily Sentinel reports Kevin Garcia, 19, of Nacogdoches was charged this week with three counts of criminally negligent homicide. Garcia was driving a Ford Escape with the three others as passengers when he attempted a U-turn on a Nacogdoches highway. The Escape pulled in front of an 18-wheeler and was struck. The passengers all were pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say toxicology reports for Garcia came back negative for drugs and alcohol. A Rusk County grand jury is scheduled to hear the case Sept. 2. If convicted, Garcia could be sentenced to two years in jail and receive a $10,000 fine for each count.
