Juan Garcia, Jr., 26, was killed by a wrong-way driver on I-75 early on Christmas morning, 2012.
A Michigan man who authorities said was driving a vehicle the wrong way on I-75 and slammed into another vehicle, killing Juan Garcia, Jr., was indicted today by a Lucas County grand jury.
Adam Tunison, 41, of LaSalle, was indicted on two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide in the Christmas Day accident that killed Mr. Garcia, 26, of Toledo.
One of the counts alleges Mr. Tunison was driving drunk and the other count alleges that he was driving recklessly.

Mr. Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene.
If convicted of the more serious aggravated vehicular homicide charge that alleges driving drunk, Mr. Tunison could be sentenced to eight years in prison.
