Two counts of reckless second-degree murder were filed Tuesday in Douglas County against Ramona Morgan in the Sept. 11 deaths of two highway workers.

Morgan, 48, also was charged with one count of reckless aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in the injury of a third highway worker.

Sabrina Morgan – Ramona’s daughter, and a passenger in the hit-and-run truck – will not be charged in Douglas County, Branson said in the announcement. In Osage County, where the Morgans were arrested after a high-speed chase, prosecutors on Wednesday dismissed the charge of “aiding a felon” they previously brought against Sabrina Morgan.

District Attorney Charles Branson announced the charges this afternoon in a news release. He said the information was not statutorily allowed for release until Morgan was served with a warrant earlier today.

“According (to) statutory language, reckless second-degree murder is the killing of a human being committed unintentionally but recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life,” Branson said in a press release. “The element of intent required under Kansas law for first-degree murder is not supported by the known case facts.”

The charges stem from an incident on U.S. Highway 59 at Pleasant Grove when a pickup truck drove through a one-lane restricted work zone and struck and killed Rolland G. Griffith, 24, of El Dorado, and Tyrone T. Korte, 30, of Seneca. Injured in the incident was Curtis Delzell, also of El Dorado.

Morgan and her daughter, Sabrina Morgan, were later arrested in Osage County following a police chase. They were found in a truck matching the description of a truck that hit the men.
