A 27 year old man is charged with possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and causing a death while operating a motor vehicle under the influence.

EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) - Evansville Vanderburgh Central Dispatch has released two 911 calls detailing the before and after of a fatal crash.

The first caller describes the dangerous situation of a man in a wheelchair, rolling down a dark street. The second caller describes the wreck that ended up killing the man in the wheelchair.

Evansville Police are holding an Evansville motorist on drug-related charges following a crash that killed a man who was traveling along a road at night in a motorized wheelchair.

Vanderburgh County Coroner Annie Groves tells 14 News that the victim was 67-year-old Stephen Ellison.

Police believe 27-year-old Bryce Edward Klueh struck and killed Ellison, a little after six, near the intersection of Covert and Vann.

Klueh is charged with possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and causing a death while operating a motor vehicle under the influence.

Frank's comment:

I highly recommend everyone go to the linked news report from WFIE and really read the comments that have been submitted on this.

After you've read these comments and paused long enough to let you blood pressure return to normal...consider this:

I took a look at this intesection (Covert & Vann in Evansville, IN) via Google Maps street level view. You know what I found?

NO CURB CUTS! How the hell was the victim supposed to get out of the street?
