MONROE COUNTY, N.Y. — The man accused of causing the deadly crash that killed 2023 Spencerport graduate Maria Eichas has been indicted by a Monroe County grand jury.
Alexander T. Hackett, 33, faces charges of aggravated vehicular homicide, second-degree manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, second-degree assault, aggravated vehicular assault, aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving while ability impaired by drugs, and others, according to the indictment handed down Tuesday.
