A Seward man charged with vehicular homicide will be in Indiana County Court today for a plea hearing.
30-year-old Patrick Thomas Walker is charged in connection with a fatal crash on September 7th of 2019 that killed 26-year-old Daniel Rodkey of Indiana. Police say the crash happened in the 2100 block of Shellbark Road in East Wheatfield Township. When police arrived, they found a Tesla Model S in a wooded area with several trees damaged by the car. A beer can was found inside the car and major damage was reported on the passenger side of the car where Rodkey was sitting. He was found dead outside the vehicle under one of the front wheels.
Police identified Walker as the suspect as he was being treated on-scene. A legal blood draw taken at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center showed he had alcohol and amphetamine in his system at the time of the crash.
