GOLDEN, Colo. -- The truck driver accused of killing four people and seriously injuring several others in a fiery crash on Interstate 70 in Lakewood in April pleaded not guilty in a Jefferson County court on Thursday.
A trial for Rogel Aguilera-Mederos, 24, will begin May 1. The Texas truck driver is facing 41 charges in connection with the April 25 crash, including for four counts of vehicular homicide as well as assault and attempted assault.
Aguilera-Mederos claims the brakes on the truck failed as he was coming out of the foothills.
Prosecutors said Aguilera-Mederos tried to leave the scene and showed “extreme indifference to the value of human life.”
