A teenager who investigators say was driving the car involved in a deadly crash was in court on Tuesday. A judge says there's enough probable cause to send the case to trial.
17-year-old David Jacobson faces four felony charges including homicide by negligent use of a vehicle and homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle. Court documents show Jacobson admitted to drinking and then driving 90 to 100 miles per hour when his car crashed on Hickory Road south of Eau Claire.
19-year-old Michael Hiatt died at the scene. 23-year-old Shawn Loescher, who was also in the car, was taken off life support a few weeks ago.
Jacobson is free on bond.
