an additional indictment was served on McElhiney with charges for vehicular manslaughter and driving while impaired by drugs in the death of Robert Dukehart.

Police, citing preliminary information, said a 2007 Chevy Impala was driving westbound on Aurora Avenue when it left the roadway at Eagle Street, crashing into several trees and landing in a quarry.

The driver was able to escape from the vehicle and swam to safety, according to authorities. He was transported to Edward Hospital where he was treated and released.

Two passengers inside the vehicle, identified as Mihirtej Boddupalli, 21, of Lisle and Sajaad Safiullah Syed, 21, of Naperville, were unable to escape and were found by fire and police divers.

Investigation by Montgomery County Detective Bureau and Douglass Township Police revealed that Gatchel had been operating his motorcycle northbound on Route 100 when he was struck from behind by Rau’s vehicle, which caused the victim to go to the ground. The defendant then drove over the victim and his motorcycle and became wedged under the car. The victim was dragged for approximately 749 feet before the defendant’s car came to a rest. The car, motorcycle, and Gatchel caught fire. The defendant was able to exit his vehicle uninjured. Gatchel was killed as a result of his injuries and the subsequent fire.
