Police and Kansas Bureau of Investigation lab reports containing the blood-alcohol level of a driver of a pickup truck that overturned and killed four passengers have been forwarded to the Douglas County District Attorney's office.
Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. George Wheeler said police have received results of a blood-alcohol test for Manuel Brown, 20, the driver of a pickup that overturned in North Lawrence on Aug. 29.
Police are not releasing results of the report.
That information will have to come from the district attorney's office, Wheeler said.
Douglas County Dist. Atty. Christine Kenney Tonkovich was not immediately available for comment on Wednesday.
The DA's office will determine what, if any, charges will be filed in the accident.
Three Haskell students -- Ray "Mike" Red Elk, 24; Yancy Longhat, 20; and Albert Whitebull, 25, -- died at the scene, after the pickup truck they were riding in struck railroad tracks and overturned.
A fourth man, Clint Wahquahboshkuk, 23, Mayetta, died Sept. 10 at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. He was not a Haskell student.
Another man who remains hospitalized, Kerry Jymm, 21, Gallup, N.M., has been moved from the Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan., to a hospital in New Mexico, Wheeler said.
A KUMC spokesman could provide no information on where Jymm was taken.
