A Brazoria County jury has found a trucker guilty of manslaughter in connection with a truck accident in 2008.
The case involved accusations that the truck driver used cocaine prior to the wreck but according to reports, the jury for procedural reasons, did not hear evidence related to analysis of blood samples.
The wreck happened when the 18-wheeler hit 2 vehicles stopped at a construction zone near Angleton. The tractor-trailer hit a pickup and killed one person and injured an off duty officer who was directing traffic, it was reported.
The punishment phase of the trial was scheduled to begin today.
