Trucker in Taylor Univ. Crash Transferred to Indiana

A Michigan truck driver arrived at the Grant County Jail late last night, where he’s held this morning on multiple charges related to a crash last April that killed four Taylor University students and one staff member. Grant County officers transferred the 37-year-old suburban Detroit resident from a Michigan jail, after he waived extradition yesterday. Michigan police had arrested the trucker at his home Friday, after Grant County’s prosecutor charged him with five counts of reckless homicide and four counts of criminal recklessness. Officials accuse the trucker of driving nine hours longer than federal regulations allow before his truck crossed the median on I-69 and crashed into a university van.
