A man accused of Involuntary Manslaughter will go to trial after causing an accident that killed two people in September.
A Maries County judge has bound John Mazurek, 24, to go to trial after hearing the state’s evidence in a preliminary hearing Tuesday.
Mazurek was arrested on September 1st. He had been driving on Highway 133 south of Meta when his vehicle crossed the center line and struck another vehicle head-on.
The driver of that second vehicle, 57-year-old Roberta Randolph, was killed in the crash. The passenger in that vehicle, Helen Wieberg of Jefferson City, sustained serious injuries and died at a later time.
Mazurek is currently being charged with Involuntary Manslaughter and felony assault for the death of Randolph. He could be facing another involuntary manslaughter for the death of Wieberg.
Mazurek could also be charged with one count of Driving While Intoxicated depending on the results from blood work that was sent to the Highway Patrol Lab.
Mazurek will next be in court on December 5th for his arraignment.
Helen Wieberg’s husband has also filed a wrongful death civil suit against Mazurek.
