Charges: Driver might've been trying to beat his wife home from the bar when he caused deadly crash
The driver accused of causing a crash that killed a woman in Andover on Friday was drunk and possibly trying to beat his wife home from the bar at the time of the collision, according to charges filed on Monday. Aloysius Thompson, 48, of Andover, is charged with one count of criminal vehicular homicide–under the influence of alcohol, in connection with the crash reported around 5:45 p.m. Friday that resulted in the death of Alice Stack, 74, of Andover. The crash happened in the area of 165th Avenue Northwest and 7th Avenue Northwest, police said. At the scene, officers discovered a 2019 Ford F-350 pickup and a Kia Soul in the ditch. The pickup was empty, but Stack was trapped inside the Kia. Witnesses told police they had seen the driver of the pickup truck "stumbling away from the black truck and running off into a wooded area." Stack was removed from the Kia and taken to Mercy Hospital, where was declared dead. Police caught up Johnson walking south along Valley Drive Northwest, and he allegedly displayed "signs of intoxication," such as "slurring his words, poor balance, and an odor of an alcoholic beverage," charges state. After initially telling police he wasn't driving, Johnson's wife arrived at the scene and identified his truck. She told police she'd met Johnson at the SRO bar in Oak Grove, where Johnson had been eating and "drinking vodka soda drinks." "She wanted [Johnson] to ride with her home, but he refused, and drove his truck, following behind her," the complaint states. She told police she believed Johnson "was trying to beat her home," and had sped up to turn from 165th onto 7th Avenue North. When questioned after his arrest, Johnson said he had 3-4 vodka soda drinks at the SRO bar, as well as being the lone occupant of the truck. "He now denied remembering the accident and claimed to recall being in a field and running and then was reportedly on his way back to the scene when arrested by Deputies," the complaint says. A blood draw was taken at the scene, the results of which are pending. Johnson has a previous DWI conviction, the complaint says.
