Storm Lake, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — The Buena Vista County Sheriff’s department has charged the driver in a fatal traffic accident with vehicular homicide.

28-year-old Jorge Oretega-Oretega was West bound on Highway 3 about three miles East of Cherokee around 6:30am on March 19th when he pulled into the Eastbound lane – apparently to turn onto County Road M-27 – and struck an oncoming vehicle driven by 65-year-old Rose Bumsted of Nemaha. She later died of her injuries.

Authorities used access to Ortega-Ortega’s car camera as part of their investigation and say he had repeatedly veered out of his lane while driving on highway 3 that morning.
