Man charged in crash that killed sister of retired Supreme Court justice
May 8, 2016
(Reuters) - An Arizona man has been charged with manslaughter and driving under the influence after a collision that killed Ann Day, a former state senator and sister of retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, authorities said on Sunday.
Jarrad Barnes, 24, of Tucson, was driving a vehicle that crossed the raised median of a highway in the desert city on Saturday and struck Day's car head on, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a statement. The 77-year-old woman was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Barnes was booked at the Pima County Jail after being released from the hospital with non-life threatening injuries sustained in the accident, the statement said.
A spokesman for the sheriff's department said the results of toxicology tests would be available in about two weeks.
