A man charged with hitting and killing a motorcyclist is not competent to stand trial.
That’s what a Fond du Lac County Judge Anthony Nehls ruled yesterday (March 10th) when 68-year-old Mark Snider returned to court for a competency hearing.
FOX11 reports that because of the ruling, Snider’s case has been suspended while he receives psychiatric treatment, which could make him competent in the future and understand the charges he faces. Snider will return to court on June 10th for a competency evaluation.
The 68-year-old was charged with 2nd-degree reckless homicide and 1st-degree recklessly endangering safety after police say he intentionally swerved his vehicle into the path of the motorcycle in March last year.
The crash ended up killing 26-year-old Elijah Sowin in the 600 block of S. Main Street.
Fond du Lac Police Chief Aaron Goldstein called the incident “not an accident, but a deliberate and dangerous act that led directly to the death of a young man from our greater Fond du Lac community.”
He finished saying that reckless drivers, especially those intended to cause harm, will not be tolerated.
