The Rapid City Journal reports that 34-year-old Winchester Wearden of Austin, Texas, is to stand trial Aug. 21-22 in Buffalo on two counts of second-degree manslaughter.
Wearden was cited for reckless driving and passing in a no-passing zone after the crash last Nov. 20. Authorities allege that Wearden's pickup truck collided with a car on U.S. Highway 85 near the northwest South Dakota town of Ludlow. The crash killed 21-year-old Samantha Vogel of Lincoln, N.D., and 61-year-old Judith Hampton of Newcastle, Wyo.
A telephone listing for Wearden could not immediately be found.
