A driver who allegedly was involved in a fatal crash in Cooper County on June 14, 2020, and is facing a felony charge is due in court.

According to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a motorcycle, driven by 59-year-old James Brandl, of Boonville, was traveling northwest on Missouri Highway 87 when it was struck by a northwest bound SUV, driven by Karen Lynn Gately. Brandl died from his injuries. Gately was not injured.

Court documents say the 68-year-old Gately, of Boonville, is charged with a felony for involuntary manslaughter in the first degree. Gately, who posted 10 percent of the $10,000 bond on September 9, 2020, pleaded not guilty on April 12.
