(KMZA)--A Frankfort man will stand trial on charges stemming from an all-terrain vehicle crash last May that claimed the life of a Frankfort woman.

A Marshall County judge recently ruled there was sufficient evidence for Weston Adams to be bound over for trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol following a preliminary hearing in the case.

Adams also faces charges of interference with a law enforcement and driving without an ignition interlock device.

Arraignment was scheduled for the morning of February 5 in Marshall County District Court.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports Martin was driving an ATV north of Vliets early May 6 when he crossed into a ditch along K-87 and the ATV rolled onto its side.

A passenger, 22-year-old Arianna Lynn Martin, was ejected and the ATV came to rest on top of her.

She was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
