A 27-year-old Columbia man has been charged with two felonies in a fatal crash that occurred on Friday in Camden County.
Dylan Gibson was charged in Camden County with driving while intoxication that caused the death of another and DWI that caused serious physical injury. He is being held at the Camden County Jail without bond. A hearing was held on Tuesday morning and Gibson applied for a public defender, according to court filings.
The probable cause statement says troopers were called to a crash and found Gibson “throwing alcoholic shooters off the” Niangua Bridge. The trooper wrote that Gibson appeared to be intoxicated.
Court documents say Gibson took an on-site breath test and blew a .233, nearly three times over the legal limit to drive. After attempts to get details of the crash from Gibson, the trooper wrote that he admitted to trying to pass a car and another car hitting his vehicle.
Witnesses allegedly told troopers that they saw Gibson’s BMW “weaving all over the roadway prior to the crash,” the statement says.
The driver of the other vehicle — a 63-year-old Roach man – was pronounced dead at the scene and a 22-year-old passenger in the BMW had serious injuries, a Missouri State Highway Patrol report says. MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
