Trucker Guilty In I-70 Death

A verdict has been reached in the non-jury trial of a Virginia truck driver who struck and killed another truck driver while tending to his disabled truck on Interstate 70 last year. Hosea Holcomb, 28 has been found guilty of striking and killing John Isenberg of Ohio. Video testimony showed Holcomb falling asleep at the wheel of his truck and swerving between lanes of traffic and the shoulder of the road before striking Isenberg. Holcomb did not stop after the accident and was pulled over by state police roughly 10 miles further east on Interstate 70. Holcomb is guilty of felony homicide by vehicle and accident causing death. He was also found guilty of four other summary offenses. In the order handed down late Friday by Judge Gary Gilman, Holcomb will be sentenced on April 8.
