The Lewisburg man who crossed the center line and caused a crash that killed two people and injured three others in August has been indicted for multiple counts of murder and assault.
The Logan County Sheriff’s Department served 57-year old Ross Hobbs with a grand jury indictment warrant Tuesday for two counts of murder, three counts of second-degree assault and driving on a DUI suspended license.
Hobbs had been northbound on Lewisburg Road near the Muhlenberg County line on August 16 when his pickup crossed into the southbound lane and struck a vehicle occupied by 54-year old Kenny Ferguson and 44-year old Michelle Ferguson of Browder and a two-year old child.
Kenny and Michelle Ferguson were pronounced dead at the scene and the two-year old was taken to an area hospital.
Hobbs’ pickup continued rolling north, striking another vehicle occupied by 38-year old Rosanna Baatz of Russellville and 39-year old Ronald Grise of Dunmor. Baatz was transported to Logan Memorial Hospital for injuries.
Hobbs was ejected through the windshield of his pickup and was flown by helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Police listed alcohol and excessive speed as factors in the crash.
