Part 4 - Bond for driver in fatal motorcycle crash set at $1 million - Driver was high on meth




A million-dollar bond has been set for the man who is suspected of losing control of his 24,000-pound dump truck on March 25 while under the influence of methamphetamine, slamming into 10 motorcycles and three vehicles, killing four and sending five to the hospital.

Quote from the article:
Court documents released Wednesday indicate Michael Jakscht's methamphetamine use might not have been an isolated incident. Police suspect Jakscht was an addict, according to the documents. At the scene, Jakscht had a high pulse rate and dilated pupils. He couldn't remain balanced and performed poorly on the walk and turn test.

Police also believed Jakscht would flee if he was released. The documents noted Jakscht is unmarried, has changed his physical characteristics and does not have a job or own a home locally.
