A 19-year-old Miami County woman has been formally indicted on several charges that include aggravated vehicular homicide for causing the death of a Missouri woman in August in a wrong-way, alcohol-fueled wreck on Interstate 75.

Rachel Schidecker, of Laura, is to be arraigned April 2 in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on the following charges, announced by Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr.’s office Tuesday afternoon:

· 2 counts of aggravated vehicular homicide

· 1 count of aggravated vehicular assault

· 1 count of vehicular assault

· 2 counts of Operating a motor Vehicle while Intoxicated

According to the investigation performed by Dayton police and the Ohio Highway Patrol, Schidecker drove a white 2002 Ford Explorer north in the southbound lanes on Interstate 75 in Harrison Twp. in causing a multiple-vehicle accident that resulted in the death of Chereece Rule, 39, of Kansas City. Five people, including Schidecker, were also injured in the accident.

According to the prosecutor’s office, Schidecker, after a night out drinking, entered I-75 at First Street in downtown Dayton by going up the exit ramp.

She drove near four miles on the wrong side of the highway, resulting in a number of calls to 911 by other motorists, before she collided head-on with a Chevy Blazer driven by David Wilson, 37, also of Kansas City. Rule was a passenger in Wilson’s vehicle, which caught fire and left her trapped, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Wilson, who was partially ejected and then pulled from the wreckage, suffered burns and several broken bones. The Blazer was forced into a semitrailer, which became trapped under the semitrailer and dragged along the roadway before bursting into flames.

The Explorer also struck a black Kia Sentra head on, causing the two vehicles to rotate and the Sentra to be hit by a van.

Heck’s office said that according to the accident investigation, Schidecker’s blood-alcohol content was .236, more than 10 times the legal limit, which is .02 for a person under age 21.

“Sadly, here is another example of the deadly consequences of mixing alcohol and driving. In this case, a teen, who should not have been drinking in the first place, caused the death of another because she made the reckless decision to get behind the wheel while she was intoxicated,” Heck said in a statement released with the announcement of the indictment.
