Driver on trial for deadly November accident
The jury trial for Christopher Long Jr., the driver involved in a fatal crash on I-490 last November that resulted in two deaths and one injury, commenced in Rochester, N.Y. The trial began with jury selection, and both the prosecution and defense presented their opening statements. Long is facing seven criminal charges related to the crash, including aggravated vehicular homicide, for the passing of Skylar Swift and Aleci Lopez. The prosecution claims Long was driving recklessly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident, whereas the defense argues that the heavy rain that night played a role in the tragic event. Witnesses to the crash and its aftermath testified in court on Tuesday, and the trial is set to proceed with additional witnesses and expert opinions on Wednesday morning.
