COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - A man has been charged with causing a deadly mid-Missouri crash while on probation for being a persistent driving while intoxicated offender.
Thirty-three-year-old Joshua Keller made his first court appearance Tuesday on charges of second-degree murder in the death of 39-year-old Sebastian Sneed, of Columbia. No attorney is listed for Keller in online court records.
The Columbia Daily Tribune (https://bit.ly/2iIfla5 ) reports that the crash happened Friday while Keller was attempting to pass another vehicle. After Sneed’s vehicle landed upside down in a ditch, a 6-year-old relative crawled out of the wreckage and was treated for minor injuries. Keller also is charged with second-degree assault.
An officer wrote in the probable cause statement that an open whiskey bottle was found in Keller’s car and that his speech was slurred.
