Phoenix, AZ : Charges brought in deadly accident on April, Wednesday 26th 2017

A former U.S. Marine who lost part of his leg when his motorcycle slammed into a train in what police believe was a drug related collision that also fatally injured his girlfriend, pleaded not guilty in court last week to felony charges.

Nearly a year after crashing his motorcycle into the Metrolink train at a rail crossing on Las Posas Road, killing 23- year- old Nadya Unger, 27- year- old Garrett Scott Vongunten of Camarillo appeared April 19 in Ventura County Superior Court to answer to one felony count each of vehicular manslaughter and gross negligence causing great bodily harm, as well as to driving with an invalid license.

A California Highway Patrol traffic collision report said Vongunten was under the influence of cocaine and marijuana at the time of the crash.

Vongunten denied the allegations and was ordered to return to court May 11 for a pre-trial conference.
