Arraignment set for Marquette student charged in crash that killed teammates
A former Marquette University men's lacrosse player now faces two counts of reckless homicide in crash that killed teammates.
Peter McColgan, a 22-year-old former Marquette University men's lacrosse player, is set to face arraignment on September 4th, charged with two counts of second-degree reckless homicide in the September 5th car crash that killed two of his teammates, Scott Michaud and Noah Snyder. The charges were upgraded from homicide by negligent use of a vehicle during his preliminary hearing on August 12th before Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Joseph Wall.
The prosecution presented testimony from Milwaukee Police Officer William Hanney, who worked on the crash reconstruction, to support the state's case. Hanney testified that McColgan was traveling at 53 mph in a 30 mph zone when the crash occurred, giving him ample time to have avoided the collision by pressing the brakes.
