Illinois prosecutor mulls case of road worker killed
Robert Haida, St. Clair County state's attorney is deciding whether to file charges against the driver of a tractor-trailer who struck and killed Cedrick Gasper of East. St. Louis.
Casper, a highway construction worker, was sitting on the rear bumper of a pick-up truck in a construction zone last June when a tractor trailer hit several large orange construction barrels before striking the truck Casper was sitting on. The driver of the tractor trailer hit the pick-up head throwing Casper from the truck.
Casper was taken to an area hospital where he later died.
Haida recently received a completed accident reconstruction report from the Illinois State Police. He will decide within the next month to file charges.
