Summary
A man named Curtis Harper faces serious charges after a deadly crash in June 2025 that killed a pedestrian crossing at East 31st Street and Prospect Avenue. The white Ford F-250, hauling a trailer with a mini excavator, struck the victim during a left turn — dashcam footage shows the truck’s turn signal flashing yellow. Toxicology tests revealed Harper was impaired by cannabinoids. He’s now facing up to four years in prison if convicted, with a $5,000 bond requiring 10% upfront. This case is a sobering reminder of how fast tragedy can unfold on the road. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
