MASON CITY – Mason City police announced this morning that an arrest has been made in connection to a fatal motorcycle-car crash that took place September 28 in a residential neighborhood of town.
Mason City police say that this morning, the Mason City Police Department arrested 40-year-old Brandon Roy Kellar of Mason City in connection with the fatal motorcycle crash on September 28th at the intersection of 15th and South Pennsylvania.
Shawn True, age 36, was a passenger on a motorcycle operated by Kellar that collided with another vehicle. Ms. True died from injuries she sustained during the crash.
The collision investigation has been completed and as a result of that investigation it was determined that Kellar was under the influence of alcohol, with an alcohol concentration greater than .08 at the time of the crash.
Kellar was charged with Homicide by Vehicle; a class B felony and held at the Cerro Gordo County Jail.
He’s a Tool. Has anyone ever talked to him before? Whether it’s at first sight or 2 minutes after hearing him speak, 99% of all people will think Tool!
Why would you not charge him? He was the driver and responsible for the passenger’s safety. If a drunk person is driving a car and kills someone due to reckless behavior, they are held responsible! This is NO DIFFERENT.
Good, he has been a cocky arrogant person his whole life. Sad situation but am glad that he has been charged.
If he has a good lawyer he just might get off. There is a Iowa law that says if you ask for a ride with someone you accept responsibility for your own well being. In other words, if she wanted a ride it is on her. They can get him for D.U.I. but that is all. At least that used to be the law.
Definitely not correct
Bull SHIT. It was a law because I know someone who was found innocent because of it. It might not be any more but at one time it was. I’ll bet it is still on the books.
Nope not correct at all.
Was not on the books then and is not on the books now.
Yes! It WAS!
I didn’t think that Iowa had a comparable negligence law. But after some research, it seems that it might.
They may not have it now but they certainly did back in the day. They are always making laws that overrule old laws, but very seldom do they take the old law off the books.
So sad! Her and his children have to go through this. Neither one put the most precious things in life first. Both made very bad decisions that day.
sad on so many levels, call a cab
Imagine that, who would have thought that they would charge the (operator) of the motorcycle.
