Wrong-Way Crash Trial Set For June

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) ―

The trial of a man charged with killing five members of a Parkville family in a wrong-way crash in Ohio has been set for June 23.

Michael Gagnon appeared briefly Monday before Judge Linda Jennings on what was originally his trial date.

The judge set a May 9 hearing for arguments on motions filed by Gagnon's lawyer.

Gagnon is accused in the Dec. 30 crash on Interstate 280 in Toledo that killed a mother and four children. Police say he was driving drunk and against traffic on the interstate when his pickup truck hit a minivan filled with eight people coming home from a Christmas trip.

Police say Gagnon's blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit.
