No Reduction in Trucker's Bond

The Michigan truck driver who was involved in last spring's fatal crash with a Taylor University van has lost his bid for a lower bail bond. During a hearing today, a judge denied the man's request to reduce the bond amount from 75-thousand dollars to 44-thousand. The man's lawyer says the trucker cannot afford a 75-thousand-dollar bond, but Grant County residents had donated 44-hundred dollars, which would have been enough to purchse a 44-thousand-dollar bond. The judge says the 75-thousand dollar bond is fair. Four Taylor students and one staff member died in the crash in I-69.
