Teenager Charged in Deadly Crash

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) -- A teen accused of driving drunk in a high speed crash that killed a passenger and injured another faces criminal charges in Eau Claire County.

Seventeen-year-old David Jacobson is charged with four felonies, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.

Prosecutors say the Osseo-Fairchild High School senior told investigators he was going faster than 100 mph just before Monday night's crash south of Eau Claire.

Jacobson lost control of the vehicle on a hill, entered a ditch, hit several trees and flipped over.

Nineteen-year-old Michael Hiatt of Osseo was killed. Twenty-three-year-old Shawn Loescher of Eau Claire was critically injured. Jacobson was treated for minor injuries.
