(KMZA)--A jury trial has been set for a Lecompton man charged in connection with a fatal wreck last August in Pottawatomie County that claimed the life of a Wamego man and his 7-year-old son.
Mark Stanwix pleaded not guilty Friday in Pottawatomie County District Court to two counts of involuntary manslaughter, three counts of aggravated battery and one count of interference with law enforcement.
According to court documents, a 5-day jury trial was set, beginning February 12.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says Stanwix was driving a semi truck on U.S. 24 Highway August 10, 2022, just east of Wamego, when he rear-ended two vehicles.
Killed in the wreck was 37-year-old Randy Tinkel. His 7-year-old son, Korbin Tinkel, died from injuries three days later. Three others—including Tinkel's wife and two-year-old son, were injured in the wreck.
Stanwix remains free on a $25,000 bond
