Trucker in deadly Colorado crash charged with 40 criminal counts - Reuters

DENVER (Reuters) - A Texas truck driver who police say caused a fiery multi-vehicle crash near Denver last week that killed four people and injured four was charged on Friday with 40 criminal counts including vehicular homicide, prosecutors said.

Police in Lakewood, Colorado said they arrested 23-year-old Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos after he lost control of his tractor-trailer truck during the evening rush hour on April 25 and caused a crash on Interstate 70 that involved at least 28 vehicles.
======================================
Makes me doubly glad that I once took a defensive driving course. Perhaps this guy could have benefited from taking the same.

Hope he enjoys life behind bars.

Alright - given the quote below, and no other damning evidence in the article, what exactly did this guy do to warrant the charges?


There was no initial indication that Aguilera-Mederos intentionally caused the crash, or that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Countryman said.
 
You watch The Donald revoke his green card & have him deported as an 'undesirable alien'. I will lay money on this happening.
Well, he did just kill 4 people...

I would hope he'll spend his time in a Mexican jail.

I’d prefer they investigate before they charge. They may be adding charges to hold him in custody so he doesn’t flee. He may be a NAFTA driver and off route*

Killed people through negligence?

Maybe; but the article sure is lacking in a specifics to that effect.

Sometimes accidents happen; it doesn't always mean criminal charges need be filed. This guy's facing 40 counts. For that, I'd like to know what exactly did he do?
