Prosecutors say three students were walking on Route 9G in the village of Tivoli on Jan. 31 when they were struck by a Jeep Wrangler driven by Boeck. The accident killed 20-year-old Evelina Martin Brown of Seattle and 19-year-old Sarah McCausland of Winnetka, Ill. The third student survived.
The Journal says Boeck’s attorney did not respond to messages Friday.
