(KNZA)--A bench trial was held Wednesday in Jefferson County District Court for a Kansas City, Missouri man charged in connection with a head-on collision in 2022 that claimed the life of a Kansas Air National Guard airman.
According to court documents, District Judge Christopher Etzel, who presided over the trial of Manuel Enriquez, is to issue his ruling July 25th.
Enriquez is charged with a felony count of involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence and a misdemeanor count of DUI.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says Enriquez was driving a pickup truck on U.S. 24 Highway in Jefferson County on November 12, 2022 when he crossed the center line and collided head-on with a car driven by 23-year-old Cheyanne Branson, of Diana, Texas.
Branson was pronounced dead at the scene. Enriquez was not hurt.
