Charges Filed Months After Fatal I-70 Crash

 (WPXI) – Nearly four months after a fiery crash on Interstate 70 that left a woman dead, a man is facing charges. Police say Jacob Posey was driving at speeds nearly twice the posted speed limit.  “It’s really not going to bring us any more peace, or [put us] at ease,” said Kayla Demo, the sister of Tori Demo, who was killed in the crash. “There’s nothing that’s going to be able to bring her back.”  According to court documents, police spoke with two other people who were driving on I-70 at the time of the crash and saw Posey getting onto the interstate.  Both of them said he was driving “way too fast.”  One of the witnesses said Posey’s truck had been blowing black smoke out of the exhaust.  Police said that the witness saw Posey quickly speed up to 100 mph and go around a curve.  The second witness said they saw the car, driven by Demo, attempt to move into the right lane as the truck approached behind her in the left, but at the same time, Posey tried to pass her on the right, hitting her car.  Demo’s car hit the guard rail, rolled multiple times, and then came to a stop, police said.  Both witnesses tried to help her, but the car caught fire, killing her.  After the crash, police said Posey told them Demo cut him off and pushed him into the guard rail.  Police said he was unsure how fast he was driving, but he guessed it to be 70 mph.  A search warrant showed the truck’s black box recorded speeds reaching 118 mph just moments before the crash. That’s more than double the posted speed limit.  Posey is out of jail on bond.  Posey is due in court for his preliminary hearing on July 29.
