NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — An October trial has been scheduled for a Norfolk man charged with several crimes in a collision that killed two people.
Online court records say 23-year-old Brandon Plante entered pleas of not guilty to several charges Friday in Madison County District Court. They include two counts of vehicular homicide while driving with a previous conviction for driving under the influence and one count of driving under the influence, second offense.
His trial is set to begin Oct. 11.
Authorities say Plante was driving north in a southbound lane of U.S. Highway 81 on June 26 when he struck an oncoming vehicle driven by 32-year-old Tar Eh. Eh and a passenger in the vehicle, 32-year-old Yeh Htoo, were fatally injured. Both lived in Norfolk.
