A jury trial date has been set for an Ada woman bound over on amended charges in connection with a fatal traffic collision that killed a Prague man about 2½ years ago.
The original charges of first degree manslaughter and feloniously driving while under the influence of alcohol were filed in Lincoln County District Court on Apr. 21, 2021 against Haley Jordan Price, then 30, of Ada.
District Attorney Adam Panter earlier this year amended the charges against Price that now in-clude Count 1, first degree manslaughter or in the Alternative Count 2, second degree murder.
At the conclusion of her preliminary hearing on April 6, she was bound over to stand trial.
During her arraignment on May 2 before District Judge Traci Soderstrom, she entered not guilty pleas to the charges and waived a speedy trial.
Judge Soderstrom set her for the disposition docket on Sep. 26, the jury trial call docket Oct. 13 and her jury trial for 9 a.m. Oct. 16.
The manslaughter charge states that on about Oct. 26, 2020 Price caused the death of Tommy Rogers by driving a car on Highway 62 in Lincoln County and by causing or allowing the car to cross the center line and strike the pickup being driven by Rogers, which resulted in injuries to Rogers from which Rogers died.
The alternative, second degree murder, accuses Price of causing the death of Rogers by driving a car on Highway 62 in Lincoln County and by causing or allowing the car to cross the center line and strike the pickup being driven by Rogers, which resulted in injuries to Rogers from which Rogers died, while she was engaged in the commission of a felony by unlawfully driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol after having been previously convicted of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
