Charles City woman pleads not guilty to manslaughter charges in death of motorcyclist

motorcycle-accidentCHARLES CITY – A Charles City woman charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter after a fatal car-motorcycle accident last May has pled not guilty.

Stephanie Mercer, age 23 of Charles City, will be in Floyd county court on September 2 for an arraignment hearing. On July 10th, two felony counts of involuntary manslaughter were brought by Floyd county prosecutor Normand Klemesrud against Mercer. On August 14, Mercer pled not guilty to the charges.

Allegedly, Mercer was eastbound on Highway 18 on May 21st east of Nora Springs, driving a 2003 GMC Envoy when 66-year-old David Crowe’s 1992 Harley-Davidson motorcycle slowed in front of her to make a right turn on Dancer Avenue. Crowe was struck by Mercer’s vehicle, throwing him from his motorcycle and leaving him dead.

Mercer was not hurt. She was later ticketed for failure to stop in an assured clear distance. That ticket was dismissed on May 30th.
