Marvin Cal Charged for Manslaughter After Fatal RTA

Forty-seven-year-old Oscar Mayen Rhodas, a Guatemalan truck driver, lost his life in a fatal road traffic accident along the Boom/Hattieville Road eleven months ago during a road traffic accident.  A Dodge Dakota driven by a security guard, twenty-six-year-old Marvin Cal, collided into a pickup truck that Rhodas was traveling in.  The impact caused Rhodas to be flung from the pan of the vehicle and onto the road, fatally injuring him.  This morning, Cal appeared in the lower courts where he was read three traffic and indictable offenses, including manslaughter by negligence, causing death by careless conduct and drove motor vehicle without due care and attention.  No plea was taken from Cal, who was unrepresented, and bail was granted in the sum of eight thousand dollars, plus two sureties of four thousand dollars each.  Until the matter is disposed of, Cal is to report to the Hattieville Police Station every Tuesday and Friday, beginning May twenty-eighth.  He returns to court on July twenty-second, 2024.
