Trucker charged in triple-fatality crash

HOLLAND -- An Indiana truck driver could spend up to two years in prison for causing a crash that killed a father and two of his children, according to authorities.
if he's convicted of negligent homicide in the January crash that killed a father and two of his children.
Anthony Reyelts, 30, appeared Thursday morning in a Holland courtroom where he was arraigned on three counts of negligent homicide. He could face up to two years in prison and a $2,000 fine if he is convicted.
Investigators say Reyelts drove his semi truck out in front of a minivan as he left the Tulip City Truck Stop on M-40 near I-196 in Fillmore Township in January.
The driver of the van, Curtis Boeve, and two of his children - Zach and Emma - died in the collision. Boeve's two other children - Jordan and Spencer - survived.
The Allegan County prosecutor said negligent homicide charges seemed appropriate because he says Reyelts was careless, but not grossly derelict to warrant the charge of manslaughter. The prosecutor adds Reyelts should not have tried to pull his rig out onto M-40 at that time as there was no way Boeve could have stopped his vehicle.
