LaCrosse Man Found Guilty
Saturday, November 21st, 2015 -- 7:27 AM
A La Crosse man accused of hitting a tow truck operator near Osseo has been found guilty of the crime by a jury.Back in October of 2014, 38-year-old Nathan Walsh of Osseo was struck and killed 5 miles east of Osseo while he was removing a disabled vehicle from the interstate. He was struck by a passing pickup truck driven by Steven Dolan.
The State Patrol said that the tow truck was parked on the right shoulder in front of the disabled car, it had its emergency lights on and Walsh was wearing a reflective vest when he was hit. Lifesaving procedures were attempted by responding officers, but Walsh died on scene.
Dolan has been charged with negligent homicide and insists that he never saw the tow truck or driver. He pleaded not guilty to the charges back in March of this year. The trial ended on Thursday and deliberation began Friday morning. He was found guilty Friday afternoon.
