(AP) — A January trial has been scheduled for a Grand Island man charged with vehicular homicide and other crimes.
30-year-old Hermino Alamilla Jr. pleaded not guilty Tuesday in Hall County District Court.
Authorities say Alamilla was driving recklessly on Aug. 19 on U.S. Highway 281 south of Grand Island when he lost control of his car. The car rolled several times before coming to rest. The car was then hit by a pickup driven by 26-year-old Megan Brodrick, of Grand Island. She wasn’t hurt.
One of the passengers in Alamilla’s car died after being ejected. Another passenger wasn’t hospitalized.
Alamilla’s trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 6.
