Michigan jury acquits woman in crash that killed couple

BAY CITY, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan jury has acquitted a woman in the high-speed crash deaths of a married couple.

Jurors deliberated for less than two hours Thursday before finding 42-year-old Angela R. Majchrzak not guilty of two counts of reckless driving causing death.

MLive.com reports that the charges stemmed from the June 2016 crash deaths of 50-year-old Donald L. Raber and his 65-year-old wife, Denise K. Raber.

Authorities said Majchrzak’s truck collided with a Corvette driven by Donald Raber along a rural Bay County road with a speed limit of 55 mph.

Data recovered from the truck indicated it was traveling at 97 mph just 2.5 seconds before it collided with the Rabers’ Corvette.

Majchrzak’s defense attorney, Matthew L. Reyes, said his client is “ecstatic and extremely happy” with the jury’s verdicts.
