(KNZA)--Charges have been filed against a Hiawatha teenager in connection with a single-vehicle Brown County rollover wreck last November that claimed the life of another Hiawatha teen.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill, in a news release, said a juvenile complaint was filed Friday in Brown County District Court charging Andrew Kreek with five counts.
Kreek, who was 17-years-old at the time of the wreck, was charged with involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence, three counts of aggravated battery and speeding.
Killed in the wreck at the intersection of U.S. 36 Highway and Horned Owl Road, west of Hiawatha, late November 17 was 16-year-old Ian Miller. Kreek and three other Hiawatha teens suffered injuries in the crash.
The charges were filed against Kreek following an investigation by the Kansas Highway Patrol. Assisting in the investigation were the Brown County Sheriff's Office and Hiawatha Police Department.
Hill said said his office received the investigate reports from the Patrol April 29.
A date for a first appearance on the juvenile charges is pending.
