Man Accused Of Fleeing Deadly Crash Had No License
PAGEDALE, Mo. (AP) - A repeated drunken driver accused of leaving the scene of an accident that killed one boy and seriously injured his brother has not had a valid driver's license in nearly two decades.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports 54-year-old Ricky Weeden's driver's license has been revoked since he refused a breath test during a 1993 traffic stop.
The newspaper says he has been convicted of driving while intoxicated at least six more times since. St. Louis County prosecutors have charged Weeden with fleeing after a pickup truck killed 4-year-old Trayeshon Williams and his 10-year-old brother as they crossed a Pagedale street.
The older boy was released Tuesday from a hospital.
Online court records don't show whether he has an attorney, and he does not have a listed home telephone number.
